Pig Hunt (2008)
Action | Horror | Thriller
When John takes his San Francisco friends to his deceased uncle's remote ranch to hunt wild pigs, it seems like a typical guys weekend with guns – despite the presence of John's sexy girlfriend Brooks. But as John and his crew trek deeper into the forest, they begin tracking the awful truth about his uncle's demise and the legend of The Ripper — a murderous three-thousand-pound black boar! Their pursuit leads them through fields of marijuana and into the muddy landscape of Big Wallow, involving high-powered weaponry, the violent and unpredictable Tibbs Brothers, massacred emus, a machete-toting Hippie Stranger, vengeful rednecks, and throat-slitting Cult Girls who grow dope by day and worship a Giant Killer Pig by night. By the time the pig hunt is done, no one is innocent – or unscathed. Not for the faint of heart, PIG HUNT is a darkly comic horror film that combines the best of DELIVERANCE, JAWS, and DINER, but remains uniquely Nor-Cal in its tone and scope. It is cinematic punkabilly – fresh, shocking, unforgettable!

Nevinnost / Innocence (2011)
Drama | Thriller
Another feature film written by Petr Jarchovský and directed by Jan Hřebejk is slowly being born. Shooting started in late August in Prague and its three-day final stage took place at Máchovo jezero (Mácha’s Lake). Audience will have the opportunity to enjoy completed movie for the first time at Berlinale in February next year. The plot brings out a contemporary drama and – as the title suggests – it’s going to be a study about man’s guilt and innocence. Unexpected twists and turns in the story will reveal secrets from the past, viewers may look forward to seeing Ondřej Vetchý, Aňa (Anna) Geislerová or Luděk Munzar as main characters. As the unit, once again, has not changed much since the last shooting, Bystrouška is not missing, represented by Michal Holubec with his Black Mary and Honza Skála operating the mikes. Michal relied on standard well-proven equipment. The only exception is Lectrosonics wirelesses, which have recently become popular with the guys from Bystrouška. Octopack – a system featuring four two-channel receivers with robust design and compact form factor considering the options it provides – facilitates work in somewhat frantic rhythm of shooting on spot. Shortly after the shooting is finished, Michal will take the recorded material back to the Bystrouška studios, where intensive sound postproduction works will take over. So, to be on the safe side, we are now replenishing our coffee reserves…
Starring: Ondrej Vetchý, Anna Geislerová, Ludek Munzar
