Mad Marx
The world after the apocalypse is not a nice place to live. Civilization is gone and the old days are almost forgotten. The past is twisted and misunderstood, and its remains often serve only to reinforce the power of the strong. But the relicts of the past resonate even among the slaves, and so a legend of a savior emerges – a savior who will free them under the banner of a hammer and sickle.

Lukáš Kratochvíl
Lukáš Kratochvíl was born in Pardubice, Czech Republic, and now lives in Prague. He entered the film industry in 2004, initially as a stuntman and special extra (specifically, as a sword fighter, which is his area of expertise and which he continues to do today). He began directing and shooting his own projects in 2014, which led to his very first short film, Pray, co-directed by Jan Musil. In 2014–2019 Lukáš created six more short films, as well as numerous commercials and promotional videos. He is currently working as a director and DoP specialized in action camera design.
