Nothing Sticks, 1min., Netherlands
Directed by Roze Elisa, Kuba Szutkowski

Get to know co-writer/writer/actor Roze Elisa:

1. What motivated you to make this film?

I wanted to make something funny that we can all relate to – awkward dates
and missed opportunities. I signed up for a 1-min film challenge, got
selected and developed the awkward dance between the two along the way.

2. From the idea to the finished product, how long did it take for you to
make this film?

About 2 months. The actual sourcing a crew, filming, editing and making it
ready only took a month.

3. How would you describe your film in two words!?

Missed opportunity

4. What was the biggest obstacle you faced in completing this film?

Getting the perfect crew in the timeline we had: a month. I wanted this to
be as good as it could be, and we all know that the crew makes the movie. I
ended up with incredible people, and I am very grateful.

5. What were your initial reactions when watching the audience talking
about your film in the feedback video?

So fun!! Really glad to hear the words “relatable” and “funny”. That was
actually what we wanted and seeing that people can relate is a blessing and
a curse (we all want you to have good dates!).

6. When did you realize that you wanted to make films?

I’ve always known I wanted to be in this industry: I was two when I
proclaimed I was going to be an actress. The dream of actually making films
and being part of the creative team started when I was in drama school,
about 10 years ago.

7. What film have you seen the most in your life?

Ooofff, not sure. If I had to guess it would be Pride & Prejudice, the
Keira Knight version. Love that film!

8. You submitted to the festival via FilmFreeway. How has your experiences
been working on the festival platform site?

Really good – great platform, makes it easy to find great film festivals.

9. What is your favorite meal?

Poke bowls and mochi – yum.

10. What is next for you? A new film?

Yes! Currently in development for 2 shorts – they will be longer and I’m excited to make a 20-min film.
