The Flaw (2026)

feature film, 124’

 

Based on the novel by Antonis Samarakis, The Flaw is a dystopian noir thriller set in a future where an authoritarian Regime decides who belongs and who doesn’t. A ruthless Interrogator is tasked with following a flawless Plan to prove a Suspect’s guilt, and their encounter turns into a tense psychological game in which nothing is quite what it seems — until a single flaw changes everything. Starring David Dawson, Arthur McBain, Ralf Little and Lyne Renée, the film is a Greece–Latvia co-production by Argonauts Productions with Mima Films and ERT, shot in Riga, whose skyline becomes an unnamed dystopian city.

I was responsible for 110 invisible VFX shots on the film, designed to support the story without ever drawing attention to themselves.

Selected for the Baltic Film Competition at the 30th Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival and screening at the 67th Thessaloniki International Film Festival.
