Get to know writer Alex Dzialo:

1) What is your very short story about?

My story is about genuinely trying to do your best, but being held back by your own misunderstanding.

2) What motivated you to write this story and submit it to the festival?

3) What movie have you seen the most in your life?

I’ve written 8-10 scripts for short films…
