Syrena, encouraged by the great box office and reviews for Ciacho, agreed to back Vega's new project, East Pictures' second endeavor.
Waldemar Leszczyński, president of Syrena, says he is especially impressed by the producer's means of generating production funds. "Acquiring so much capital for film production from the stock market is a step forward for Polish cinema," he said. "Syrena Films sees great potential in this project." Aside from signing onto the co-production, Syrena has also acquired theatrical and home DVD rights.
