The year 2024 is behind us. Let’s recap what it has brought us. The winter belonged to sports. We shot a commercial for the sportswear manufacturer Atex. The company dresses, for example, our leading biathletes led by Markéta Davidová and our most successful triathlete Petr Vabroušek.
A documentary film about this national natural monument will be shown at the Hodonín Dúbrava Nature House. The film and shorter video clips with experts will guide you through the unique landscape during all seasons. The main guide of the story is the majestic horned beetle, the mascot of the local protected area. In addition to drone footage, we introduce the viewer to the world from the beetle’s perspective.
We created another spot for the Partnership Foundation. Their project Adapterra advises cities, municipalities, individuals with their adaptation to the effects of climate change.
We’ve added a “making of” to the success of our Last Train Home trailers. In the Digital Legion documentary, you can join us for a behind-the-scenes look at the filming and production. We’ve followed the success that Ashborne Games studio has garnered, and we’ve made several appearances at industry events and conferences to talk about how the trailers for the game were made.
The documentary The World According to My Dad by Marta Kovářová has had a year of screenings. Each screening was followed by a public debate with both filmmakers and experts on the topic of the global carbon tax, the fight against the climate crisis, and consumer responsibility.

It won the Student Jury Award and the Online Audience Award at the Ji.hlava IDFF (CZ), a special award from the international jury of the One World Festival (SK) and the Lubuskie Lato Filmowe festival in Poland, was the winner of the AFO Olomouc in the category of the best Czech/Slovak scientific-popular film and the winner of the Green Montenegro International Film Fest.

Before the end of the year, we finished our last feature documentary What About Little Peter? It follows the protagonist Peter, a teenage boy with autism spectrum disorder, and his family. The film explores the trajectories of human belonging and probes a life on the edge of social, physical and emotional limits. Look forward to the premiere in the spring of 2025.
Gnomon participated in the feature debut of Tomas Hubacek (brother of producer Jan Hubacek) Wirbel. A story from the borderlands that connects the present with the past. Starring David Švehlík, Judit Pecháček and Martin Finger. We provided DIT, videoassist and drone footage.
The development of our new documentary film The Runaway is complete. It continues seamlessly into production, with the crew heading to Brazil in February and editors diving into hundreds of hours of archive and newly shot scenes.
