Day of a Lion

Day of A Lion shows how important is to have the indie film as an existing form of art.

With thousands of artists out there trying to tell their stories, big budget films should not be the only way to that. And this film proves that it is not. Not only that, living in the generation where AI and manufactured films have taken over, having fresh, creative, original and PERSONAL voices is incredibly important.

This film might not have the high budget sound editing or the historial accuracy design, but none of those take us out from the experience that is seeing this story unfold and HOW it's being told.

Day of a Lion is a true indie gem that relights my passion for the indie community and proving that you can make an amazing film that looks way more expensive that it actually is.

Huge props to Bianca and Dilara, to the producers and to every single person in the crew.

Not an easy film to watch as it deals with complex, layered themes, with a story about two sisters, told in multiple languages, with a lot of allegory. However, I found it was worth sticking with it. The dramatic conflict really comes to life when a third character (the boyfriend of one sister) shows up. The ending pays off and the Foscht twins have demonstrated a distinctive voice in storytelling, which is refreshing to see in this debut feature.

Day of a Lion, proofed to me once again that there still is hope for our film industry and that true movie magic can be found in rare indie gems,- such as Day of a Lion. Hauntingly beautiful images, great performances,- and dark topic matters. The play-like written dialogue almost reminds of Yorgos Lanthimos' "The Killing of a Sacred Deer" and fits the world the movie is set in perfectly.

This movie is for anyone who has lost hope in cinema or has simply watched enough "pre-quals and se-quals".

Excited to see what the filmmakers do next.

"A masterclass in restraint and human storytelling, this independent film turns the confines of a single house, one day, and three actors into a stage for universal emotion. The four languages spoken throughout don't separate the characters-they enrich the tension, intimacy, and vulnerability, weaving together a drama that feels both deeply personal and profoundly global. It's a rare work that proves how much cinema can achieve with so little, leaving behind an echo that lingers long after the final frame."

Watching Day of a Lion felt different because it wasn't just any movie it was created by my close friend Bianca Foschat. Sitting there, I kept thinking about how much heart and dedication she poured into this project, and you can feel it in every scene. It's raw, powerful, and unforgettable. I couldn't be more proud of her-this is truly her moment to shine.
