Born in 1974 in Zlín, Czech Republic, Tomas Lunak studied animation direction at the Zlín Film School and Prague Film Faculty FAMU. Since his graduation he has directed a number of rock videos and industrial films. Aloïs Nebel is his feature film debut. Aloïs Nebel came to be in the year 2003, when the first book of the graphic novel "Bily Potok" came out. Rotoscoping (the drawing is done over a previously shot image) comes nearest to our conception of how best to adapt the graphic novel Aloïs Nebel into a film that remains true to the source material's form. We will able to conserve the primary design of the books and, simultaneously, enrich it through the subtleties that live human acting always brings. Aloïs Nebel is a film about wandering, about finding one's way and repeatedly getting lost in the fog of history, about looking for peace and love no matter how late in life one may be.
