Writer and director Dmytro Sukholytkyy-Sobchuk remembers his time at MIDPOINT:
“Everything that happened at MIDPOINT Intensive @KVIFF 2017 was very useful and helpful for our project. When we attended your program, we were between the first and the second stage of our script. We´ve had two tutors who gave us during the sessions very vice recommendations and advice and now I´m glad to share our success with MIDPOINT Institute.“
