AVA ... AVA is the first film of writer and director Jan Manon shot on 35 mm on a student budget in October of 2003. Based on a feature-length screenplay titled "Tulips Grow in Arnhem," this short film was shot in 18 hours on location in Barrandov, Czech Republic with the assistance of Axman Productions and the faculty at FAMU. The film featured an original soundtrack composed by Jan Manon and Slavomir Horinka. The cello piece was recorded in studio by Jan Zdansky.

AVA went on to screen in several festivals in Europe and the United States the following year and was beloved by locals for capturing on the screen palpable emotions of war and family.
