Press Release Pt.2:
"The video is promoting the Island of Vrnik, one of the islands in the Archipelago of the Island of Korcula, Croatia.
The Island of Vrnik is known for its thousands-of-year-old stone quarries that are a (missing) monument to the labor and skills of the generations of the local people. Stones from the quarries were used in the construction of towns on Korcula Island, the town of Dubrovnik, the region of Dalmatia, Croatia and abroad. Since the mid-20th century, quarries have been abandoned and nature has taken them over. The island used to have a population of 150, an elementary school, churches and its own identity.
Today, only 2 - 3 people live year - around on the island. The little community has been under pressure from the growing number of tourists during the summer season who sometimes even enter their courtyards and houses in complete oblivion of entering somebody's homes.
Filmed completely in the quarries except for the final drone scenes, the video invites visitors who are interested in history, local culture and heritage to explore and to discover, to go off the beaten track.
In fact, to find a link to life once existed on the islands of Vrnik and nearby Korcula."
