HOW I KILLED A SAINT

KOKAN
Cast and Crew

Viola – Labina Mitevska

I think of Viola as an Fallen Angel, with wings that do not fly as they once did. Labina is one of the most stubborn actor I worked with but also most précis one. I really don’t know how she succeed to be focus on her role while simultaneously she was continually disturbed by the myriad of little and big troubles that came along with producing of this film. I regret not cutting her hair short. When I think of Viola, I think of myself, maybe she was meant to play me.

Kokan – Milan Tocinovski-Sako

I met Milan through a friend of a friend of a friend of his sister. I searched and saw some three hundred young men all around Macedonia, I even made a film of it. I was set to find the real life Kokan. Milan is actually a student of editing. Once he told me a story of burning his father’s garage down when a young boy. I always imagined the character of Kokan as a Macedonian rebel with out a cause. When I met Milan I knew he was the right one. Milan is Kokan.

Milan Tocinovski was born in Skopje, 1975. Currently he is finishing his study in editing at the Skopje Faculty of Film and Drama Art. ‘How I killed a saint’ is his first appearance on the screen and he never acted before. After ‘How I killed a Saint’ he was invited to act in several other TV projects.

Alain Marcoen – Director of Photography

Since seeing ROSETTA by Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne, I knew I wanted Alain Marcoen as our cinematographer. For a long time we contemplated how to get in touch with him. One night someone suggested to just simply looking in a Belgium phone book for his number. And we did. After a few weeks we welcomed him at the Skopje Airport. It was a wonderful rainy day.

Alain Marcoen worked as cinematographer on three films with the Belgian Dardenne Brothers– LA PROMESSE, ROSETTA and LE FILS. His other recent credits include French director Jacques Otmezquine’s UNE EMPLOYEE MODELE.
