LOGLINE
With a kid on the way, Jay has to leave his life of crime behind him, before his wife leaves him behind.
ABOUT FILM
Dark in tone, light in mood. PIT is a unique genre-mashup that combines rom-com tropes with elements of crime movies and thrillers. This is not your high-key feel-good comedy. PIT is low-key and sarcastic! See Press-Kit for detailed information.
ABOUT FILMMAKERS
We are a mixed group of film enthusiasts, industry professionals, and film students from the metropolitan area of the Ruhr in Germany. This film features our home and its industrial heritage in a way you haven’t seen before. The prospect of sharing this story world on the big screen is what brought us all together.
We received strong support from local brands and small business owners. Our production received many sponsorships and was generously outfitted by ARRI.
ABOUT DIRECTOR
Born and raised in the industrial valley of the Ruhr, Mike Linde does not just know the meaning of hard work, but that it takes no less to create beauty out of thick air.
He has directed a number of commercials, music videos for nationally acclaimed artists, and a tv series pilot. Loving every aspect of filmmaking and having worked in almost every department on set and postpro, he is confident at expressing his vision to crew and cast.
