Ninja Twins from Another Dimension

Film Ninja Twins from Another Dimension was born during the quarantine and is part of the 1-minute film competition organised by the Estonian Film Institute. Was it easy to push a film into a 1- minute timeframe? And why ninjas?

It is always a challenge to push a film into a very short format, there is no time to waste, every second counts and must have a purpose. On the other hand, it’s just a minute, so if it sucks, we only wasted a minute.

We watched a lot of movies during lockdown, and were strongly influenced by kung fu classics like Enter the Dragon, The Flying Guillotine and wanted to create something that would feel similar. There is something very unique about ninjas – medieval Japanese mercenary agents whose sole purpose was to be excellent at martial arts. Maybe deep down we always have wanted to be real ninjas, so we made a film about it.
