Shy Diego struggles with low selfesteem, until he has a serious accident and wakes up as Tony T, a totally uninhibited, smooth-talking stuntman. A typical case of Frontal Syndrome and the ideal case study for young and ambitious neurologist Jaana. Everybody hopes that Diego will make a quick recovery. Everybody, except for Diego ...

Dirty Mind ABOUT THE DIRECTOR

ABOUT THE PRODUCER

After making several short films with strong festival careers (Black XXX-Mas, Belgium Strikes Back,...) writer-director Pieter Van Hees (1970) has now embarked on a trilogy of features called ‘Anatomy of Love and Pain’, in which he dissects all aspects of a relationship.

Part 1, Left Bank, was released March 2008 to great critical acclaim and enjoyed a 13 week-run in Belgian theatres. It premiered internationally at the Edinburg Film festival (where it was picked up by IFC for US distribution) and was selected for festivals in Oldenburg, Austin, Valencia, Leeds, Sitges and North Carolina. Part 2, the highly anticipated Dirty Mind, has been released in January 2008.

The way these three films combine a highly original way of storytelling with a very visual style makes Pieter Van Hees a quite unique voice in Belgian cinema.

Caviar was created in 2005 through the merger of three production companies and the involvement of Corelio, the largest Belgian press group. Caviar is active in advertising, television and film production.

Caviar Films released six films and two drama series over the last few years and is currently finishing two new features, My Queen Karo by Dorothée van den Berghe and Bo by Hans Herbots.

Caviar is based in Brussels, Los Angeles and Amsterdam, offering a unique network and experience for advertising and film production.
