The story behind the film
Michael Koltes and Olivier Hero Dressen met through a mutual friend. Their passion for film turned into a creative partnership that is still going, and into The Passport, shot and produced within three weeks of the script being locked.
Thank you
Making a film takes dedication, late nights, early mornings and real team effort. The Passport would not exist without the passion and work ethic of everyone who made it.
