Introducing

Based on a music video for singer Annet X, Veronika Donutková became the D.O.P. for the fantasy series Vedma and subsequently worked on the series Záhadné případy (Mysterious Cases) and Moloch Files. In practically a single step, she mastered a process that takes others years. “It was challenging and tough,” said the 33-year-old cinematographer and director, who previously shot the documentaries Respect Her Game and Displace. “Now, I’m going to catch up on my profession. Maybe I’ll work for someone as a camera assistant.”
