We’re honoured that our short film “Rock, Paper, Scissors” has been shortlisted in the Live Action Short Film category for the 98th Academy Awards.
It’s a story of survival, youth, courage and impossible choices.
It was only possible because of the strength, trust, and talent of our Ukrainian cast.
Here’s our trailer, thank you for watching.

Yesterday, we hosted a screening of our short film “Rock, Paper, Scissors” in my hometown Stuttgart.
Sharing the project and the story behind it in a packed cinema with a home crowd felt incredibly special.
Over 200 people came, including friends, long-time supporters, new faces, and people who just love film.
A big thank you to everyone who came, shared their thoughts, and stayed to talk afterwards.
Local special screenings like these, powered by wonderful cinemas, will play a huge part in the theatrical distribution of our upcoming feature film.
🎬 Take a look behind the scenes.
As part of this year’s Oscar journey, we, Giovanna Ferrari (Éiru, Cartoon Saloon) and Franz Böhm (Rock, Paper, Scissors), sat down for an open filmmaker-to-filmmaker conversation.
Together, we reflected on our creative processes, the challenges we faced, and the choices that shaped our stories, from script to screen.
Watch the full conversation now. Link in bio.
