The EU Border Air Policing Guardians

Ivan Kristoff and his pioneering company EIGER are capturing on film about the establishment of a Specialized Air Surveillance Unit.

Professional rope access expert Ivan Kristoff is creating a compelling short story on the first year of operation of the Bulgarian Border Police’s air patrol service.

The film follows a team of military helicopter pilots, who have joined the new unit in year 2010. Kristoff and the police officers discussed the concept for the film and decided to focus on the innovation and exploration of new methods for aerial video monitoring and SAR (Search and Rescue) operations.

“I am excited to produce a  short film for brave pilots who have fly for military and police service, tactical and rescue missions. There is more adrenaline in this type of cinematography, because of the element of danger and dynamics of the work. The precise timing is important part of my camera shooting”, admits producer Ivan Kristoff.
