Lonely Pro’s Year in Review 2024

Lonely Pro has had an exciting year with a slew of premieres, nominations, and completed productions. We also locked in some crucial financing for upcoming productions. Here are some highlights from 2024:

We premiered three movies this year. Girl America in Czech and Slovak theaters and as an International premiere at the A-list film festival in Tallinn in the main competition. Fakir had a world premiere at DOK.fest in Munich. And Forest had a world premiere at the Thessaloniki International Documentary Festival where we received the Silver Alexandr award. 

Also, we had a strong presence at Ji.hlava IDFF where we had the Czech premieres of Fakir and Forest and where Michal was selected for the Emerging Producers 2025 program.

We completed the shooting of four films: Ungrateful Beings (shooting took place in Pelješas, Croatia, Brno, Plzeň, and Prague, Czech Republic), Jiří Kylián: Sehn sucht (Terschelling and Haag, Holland), First Patrol (Boskovice, Czech Republic), and Pixie (Poland, and Ústí Region, Czech Republic).

The Czech Film Fund supported three of our films: Always Far Away (also supported by Plzen Film Fund), Child of Dust (also supported by Ministry of Culture in Creative Vouchers program by NextGeneration EU) and Pixie (also supported by Polish Film Institute and other Polish financiers, inc. pre-sales from Netflix in Poland).
