Actress, a writer, a musician, a director and artist from the Fine Arts and forces them to make a movie with him, with his VHS recorder in his old barn.

"...this film, which was originally meant to be a horror, draws its strength from a fantastic cast and a wittily penned script that is bursting with humour and love for the acting profession. ... Take 5’s universal, approachable language should make it popular not only with the local audience, but also on the international festival circuit." -Marina Richter, Cineuropa
