GETTING IT MADE
The film was shot on location in Siatista (18 days) and in London (6 days). Using self-funding and an inherited haunted house location, Konstantinos and Elizabeth developed a script using family ghost stories and traditions. Using elements of fantasy and magical realism, the story unfolds in the past and present simultaneously, leaving the audience to discover what is real and what is the product of the imagination.
