    BUCHAREST: Igor Cobileanski (The Unsaved) will start shooting a new feature, Eastern Business, mid-July 2015. This dark comedy is the first Romanian/Lithuanian coproduction to date.

    Eastern Business is a dark comedy focusing on the unlikely friendship between Marian and Petro who, confronted with the lack of perspectives, become business partners and start a journey in Eastern Europe.  “Eastern Europe is the place of celebration and sorrow. Here all people have dreams, but not always the proper conditions to fulfill them", the director said in a statement.

    Iuliana Tarnovetchi is producing through Alien Film in coproduction with Dagnė Vildžiūnaitė through Lithuania's Just a Moment. The budget is almost 700,000 EUR, representatives from Alien Film told FNE. The Romanian National Film Center and the Lithuanian Film Centre are supporting.

    Shooting will take place in 57 locations (rural areas and Bucharest surroundings) and will wrap in the second week of August 2015. Feliksas Abrukauskas is the DoP. The film will be released in the festivals circuit in summer 2016.
