  • Mindi is a 20 min. long short film based on a true story.

    Its’s directed by Milan Ganesan and supported by Den Vestdanske Filmpulje.

    Abdi has to deliver a machete as one of his final tasks in the criminal underworld. This is supposed to happen after he has been out dealing with his partner in crime, Malik. But things start to go wrong when Malik convinces Abdi to bring along his innocent cousin on the trip.

    A dark and gritty story that shows how quickly things can escalate when you’re in the wrong place at the wrong time.

    The film has been selected for OFF25 and have furthermore recieved a Robert Shortlist in the category “Short Film of the Year: Fiction/Animation”.

  • The images are low-key lit, using hard and focused light sources to create a high contrast ratio. We have worked with a mismatch between the light’s Kelvin and the camera’s Kelvin settings to achieve a colorful look that feels authentic to the environment and culture.

    As the story shifts, so do the light and colors - transitioning from a warm, homely tone to a cool, unwelcoming tone that emphasizes the contrast between family life and street life.

    We have aimed to capture an authentic style inspired by realistic documentary filmmaking and cinéma vérité. To achieve this, the camera is almost always handheld, keeping the intensity, roughness, and raw energy at a maximum.
