In November of 2004 Mike Figgis oversaw a master-class organised by the European Film Academy (EFA) that took place in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The idea was to make a feature film in a week using DVCAM technology alongside Panasonic cameras and Apple computers.

The Result was a 93 minute "mockumentary" style documentary that charts real, fictional and scripted elements of the week.

After six days and nights of exhausting work "COMA" was screened to a packed cinema in Ljubljana on sunday the 7th november 2004. There were some walkouts.
