Horrid

HONORARY AWARD: “Horrid” (Mobaraki Brothers) JURY’S MOTIVATION: The film is a gripping genre film with a strong portrayal. As a viewer, you quickly understood what was at stake and sat tense throughout the film. Beautiful cuts back and forth in time.

What would you do when your old partner start demanding something you don’t want to do. What will you do if they threaten to kidnap your family?

I ask my younger brother Freidon Mobaraki and Dragan Tumic, lets do this together. They said ok, and after reciving the email Friedon come up with an idea, together we developed the idea to a script and around 1300 we start filming.
Without sleeping, taking pause we finish editing 0745 next day and sent the film to the Noomaraton.
This was the first time we participated to a Swedish film competition. And we didnt had any expectation, until today. of 77 films, 66 films from all over Sweden joined the Nooomaraton, 25 in Stockholm. Only 3 could win price in Stockholm and we are one of them. Our film received the honorary award. (a check of 30000kr)
