Last Day of December

A MAN TRIES TO RECONCILE A HARROWING TALE FROM HIS PAST AND CONFRONT OLD QUESTIONS THAT WILL KEEP ON HAUNTING HIM FOREVER. BUT WHAT WILL IT MEAN FOR THE PRESENT? After winning an HBO Development Award at Columbia University, this film was shot in Northern Romania on 35mm. With no film crew at all, Bogdan was also the director of photography on the shoot, performing the majority of other jobs on set: operator, assistant cameramen, loader, grip, production designer and so on. He also custom-built the dolly and job used on this project, which were a challenge to use in gruesome daily temperature averaging -5 Fahrenheit. He was the editor and sound designer of the film, which were done in New York. LAST DAY OF DECEMBER played in the Rotterdam Film Festival, Montreal World Film Festival, Palm Springs Short Film Festival, European Independent Film Festival (Paris, France) and won awards in Aarhus, Sedona and Rhode Island Film Festivals. It was also nominated for the National Board of Review Student Award.
