"Filmmaking is a team sport, so this win is not just for me, it's for everybody involved in the project," Rimanić said about the award for the film, which also involved Nik Kranjec as director of photography, Eva Mlakar as the actress alongside Rimanić, sound designer Alen Fekonja and consultant Luka Jurinčič.
"Personally, I hope this award will open the door to the wider world of filmmaking to me, as I want to work professionally in this field on a global level," the Slovenian Film Centre moreover quoted Rimanić as saying on Monday.
