About:

Unlucky String is my first short movie created with the aim of participating in film festivals. I did watch lots of short movies and realized that the movies that caught my attention were those who dared to be different. Thus I wanted to experiment myself and attempted at creating a black-and-white short movie. Unlucky String tells the story of a not-so-good guitarist who attempts to get money in order to boost his carreer but instead ends up losing everything he has through an unlucky string of events.
