PRODUCTION: Tigers Ain't Happy Here completes filming

By Ondrej Starinsky

    Slovak director Juraj Krasnohorsky finished principal photography on his feature debut Tigers Ain't Happy Here. Shooting started in mid-August after three years of pre-production. The post-production stage will continue after additional funds are raised. Release is planned for spring 2011.

    Tigers Ain't Happy Here, an urban story set in Bratislava, is a comedy with a crime plot and some dramatic elements. The shooting took place around the city except one scene that was shot in Moravia. It is targeted at wide audince (16 - 40).

    The estimated budget is 400,000 euro, which has so far been covered mostly by the director himself and partners from the private sector. In Slovakia, the film is produced by Juraj Krasnohorsky and his company Artichoke (executive producer Henrieta Cvangová). The producers plan to apply for grant from Audiovisual Fund (www.audiovizualnyfond.sk).

    Dawson Production is the coproducer in Czech Republic.
