Korosechev (Film)

Korosechev, also called The Korosechev Movie or Korosechev the Movie is an upcoming 2023 comedy film directed by crooser64 and produced and distributed by the Koro Ministry of Media. It is the first movie to have ever been made by the Ministry of Media, who also claim it to be Eldham's first "Half feature length film."

The film follows the story of Kroosechev Verokov, the leader of the North-Eastern Eldham nation Korosechev, as he tours and travels the world of Eldham after being told he is unknowledgeable about how anything outside of Korosechev works. Also included are several sub-plots relating to the history, lore, culture and foreign relations of Korosechev; such as the attempts to split the atom, or references to the Tree Wars.

The movie started out as a random offhand joke when a diplomat asked for things to do in Korosechev, and Korosto crooser64 said to "rent a movie." When the diplomat responded asking what movies they could rent, crooser64 responded with "Korosechev the Movie," drawing up a now unused poster before eventually going on to make a full film; liking the idea.

Plot
In the small communist farming nation of Korosechev, Kroosechev Verokov; the leader of Korosechev, who is confident but often overzealous, lives in the capital city of Orbiztan and exists largely undisturbed and unknowing of the outside world despite being a political leader. He begins by introducing his home town, before explaining that his friend Loseb Burinov believes that he is too in-the-dark about geo-politics and is starting to become unfit to rule. Accepting his critic, Kroosechev decides to go and tour the rest of Eldham; visiting nations like the United Socialist States of Eldham, Ravenguard, and Qadakh.

Upon his travels, he discovers severe cultural differences between his home nation and his others, engaging with the locals to learn their history, but often making a fool of himself while he does. We also get to see inside these other nation's day to day life and culture, while Kroosechev often struggles to adapt and is kicked out of most places.

Meanwhile back in Korosechev, lead scientist Snejko Thaz and army commander Velikiy Fermer are working on splitting the "wheat atom" in order to create a nuclear bomb to finally destroy all trees in Helsia, as recently a third Tree War has been declared between Korosechev and Helsia, and Korosechev must find a way to stop them before Korosechev Island gets covered in trees. War is largely contained to the frontline, in which we see swaths of Koro citizens charging into battle in order to cut down trees in Helsia.

While abroad, Kroosechev hears of this news through a telegram sent to him while he is in Anglunia, and must quickly rush back home; catching a ship that ends up crashing before deciding to swim home. The situation in Korosechev begins to get dire as Helsia starts to do bombing runs to drop saplings and bonemeal across the Koro countryside; and the bomb has failed to be constructed as a suicide bomber blew up the main facility along with the nuclear fuel. Kroosechev manages to return home just in time to stop the war by negotiating with the Helsian high command, specifically Aetifer White, to call the war off by offering him trinkets from his travels.

Writing
Writing for the film began in early July on the 6th, where crooser64 began to script scenes and find footage to use in order to make the movie. Starting small, a trailer was first drawn up before eventually moving onto making the rest of the film. Writers Klein and Snek would later join in on the writing process after being brought on board to voice act as scientists for the scenes involving splitting the wheat atom.

Casting
Casting for the film was largely unorganized and was done to a secretive minimum in order to prevent leaks of the films nature. Individuals close to Korosechev were asked if they wanted to voice in the film, and those who agreed were handed a script and told to read before sending through the voice files and were told little to nothing besides context on how to read, what the scene was, who else would be reading with them, and what accents to do.

Release
A trailer was released on the 7th to promote the film, and the actual Movie was originally set to be released on July 9th 2023, however one of the lead actors, Klein, fell ill with influenza and was unable to record for the film; thus the date had to be pushed back to the 16th to allow time for recovery. The film's release was then pushed back again to an unknown date quoted as "taking no longer than a month" due to an underestimate in the difficulty of producing the film and a need to ensure quality.
