DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT:

Next Level is an experimental project that came to be while I was writing a script for a science fiction film. My original intention was to create a feature length film, however after a visit to Kiev, I decided to make a short version of my original vision. Everything in Next Level was shot on my iPhone and my friends and I played the main actors. I really liked the sci-fi mood of this short and I have returned to make Next Level a feature length film. The script for the full-length version is nearly complete and it will feature many more actors, locations and weird events.
