The Story
In a distant future, mankind has transformed into a society completely
reduced to the intellect. Living in an obscure system of immense spaces, people
can only be distinguished from one another by their different social positions, as in a beehive.
The inhabitants only goal is producing light. But only one among them has
this ability. For this he is admired, exploited and kept under control ...
Commentary by director Bidzina Kanchaveli
My intention is to add to the
science-fiction genre something new. Science-fiction interests me very much. This
genre can offer almost unlimited new perspectives. It pulls the viewer out of
his everyday life and lets him think about the fact that there is more outside
of the habitat in which he is imprisoned.
"1000 KINGS" will have lyrical but also dark moments. It will have some scary
moments and certainly possess dark humor. It will show violence, but also love.
Like life. I want to tell a timeless and universal story.

How we arrived until here
"1000 KINGS" is carried
by the commitment and the enthusiasm of the makers. Those are the ones who
invest their know-how, their professionalism and their time in this feature
film and its postproduction.
All the people
involved in the project work on a 100% defered fee basis. Therefore we only
need for this project a comparatively small cashpolster for insurance, rents ,
equipment and operating costs.
We know that such
a radical financing modell is not possible for everybody. Therefore we build a
crew and a cast with a mix of professionals above 30, who can afford such an
adventure, and those under 30, looking for challenge.
The key positions
are occupied by experienced professionals, who know what they do and what they
want.
A further and absolute important supporting branch for our financing concept
are sponsors and co-productions partners:
