What people are saying
The challenge here was to turn Dante’s ‘Inferno’ into a visual experience
We took into account only the Hell segment of ‘The Divine Comedy.’
We’ll have a teaser-trailer ready for AFM and plan to have the film screened at the Berlin film market in February
From then on it’s doing as many festivals as possible.
