Oscar nominated Live Action shorts series: "Shok"

The disputed European territory of Kosovo has already made history at this year's Oscars.

It's bagged its first Academy Award nomination for the live action short, "Shok".

The conflict between Kosovo and Serbia in the '90s provides the backdrop to the film, as the plight of two Albanian boys unfolds

They run into trouble with Serbian thugs, their friendship is threatened, and even worse, their lives --  as the reality of their predicament becomes crystal-clear.

The story was based on the experiences of "Shok" producer and one of the stars of the film, Eshref Durmishi.

A Martinez spoke to him along with writer/director Jaime Donoughue. He started off by asking them how they celebrated their oscar nomination
