About

Set against the great Greek economical crisis Beautiful Idiots chronicles the absurd trials and errors of two complete film idiots in their attempt to capture the chaos on film. With their ambitious narrative they not only try to turn the tables of European macro – economics but also reverse their own fate and fortune. Their findings are painstakingly ambiguous and certainly tragicomic.

Team

Michael Ginthoer, Writer/Director/editor

BI is Michaels follow up feature to the widely acclaimed film "Zen&Zero". One can easily say that Michael has defined his own genre, located somewhere between fact and fiction, drama and comedy, serious reporting and utter nonsense. Michael lives and works in Vienna, Austria.

Christos Chassapis, Writer/Sound/Cast

Christos went to film school with david in hollywood, california and later returned to Greece to open his own production company. A tarkovskian at heart, chris found himself portraying a mediterrenian anthero and villain in the film while also recording location sound.

David Auerbach, Cameraman/Producer/Cast

David works as a cameraman based in Hollywood, california, where his ancestors have a long standing habit of being employed by the motion picture industry. David lensed michael's first feature film "zen&zero" to mild critical acclaim and was made to add acting to one of his  many duties on this lates film.
