KINDER SURPRISE
2020
I am so proud to have been a part of this production as Production Designer / Costume Designer / MUA with the award-winning Spritelight Pictures. This film was our entry to the inaugural World Film Challenge presented by The 48 Hour Film Project.
Kinder Surprise was shown at Filmapalooza 2020 and one of 8 films selected to screen at the Cannes Short Film Corner 2020. The event was subsequently cancelled due to COVID-19, but we are stoked that Kinder Surprise was selected again to show at Cannes Short Film Corner 2021.
This is the director's cut with a few minor changes to the original. I hope you enjoy watching! x
SYNOPSIS
Lifelong friends, Nico and Ginge, run the friendly local chocolate shop and use it to hide their more illicit trade, but when their silent partner, Kira, suggests a new way to increase their customer base, Ginge isn't sure he's got the stomach for it.
