𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗦𝗘𝗔 𝗘𝗬𝗘 On UNICEF World Children’s Day, we’re shining a light on a heartbreaking reality: since 2018, over 1,500 children have drowned or gone missing in the Mediterranean while fleeing to Europe. Together with @seaeye_org we developed the film "Like a Fish", directed by @oliverbernotat and shot by @jandavidgunther , which tells the story of a child forced to ‘swim for his life.’ Shot on location in Tunisia and with a Tunisian cast, this simple, yet devastatingly effective story shines a spotlight on an issue that has all but disappeared from the headlines. Watch this heartbreaking Story between Father and Son and help support the Mission of Sea Eye! A Never ending Mission of saving lives. Huge thanks to the crew, who made this possible: Cast: Father: Omar Jmal Son: Med Khalil Belaaweid Director: @oliverbernotat DoP: @jandavidgunther Script & Concept: @oliverbernotat & Ibrahem Ghareib Creative Director: Ibrahem Ghareib Exec.

𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗟𝗩𝗠 🏀 No obligations. No worries. Just Leo, a basketball, and a slowly rotating ceiling fan doing more work than it was ever designed for. We made a campaign for @lvmversicherung with @accenturesong about the quiet joy of having absolutely nothing on your mind. This is our favourite kind of nothing.

𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗟𝗩𝗠 🛁 Insurance sorted. Brain offline. Beverage: optional but present. We made ten films for @lvmversicherung that celebrate doing absolutely nothing useful — starting with Felix and his very committed bubble bath. Together with @accenturesong we built a campaign that’s calm, the right amount of absurd, and oddly satisfying to watch.

𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗠𝗖𝗗𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟𝗗’𝗦 🐰🥚 Easter season, McDonald’s style. 
Our Bunny „Loop“ ist back with a job to do: Cracking eggs, dropping deals and not taking any of it too seriously. For this year’s Ostercountdown, things get playful, a bit chaotic and slightly absurd. Just how we like it. Together with our directors @henriandsebastian we brought this mixed world of live action and animation to life. Thanks to everyone involved for making this one bounce.

my new short LUZI is coming soon 🫶🏽 this project has been a small, beautiful rollercoaster. making an indie short film means living with constant ups and downs. one moment i love the film and feel proud of what we created, the next i question every single decision i made. i’m slowly learning that this is simply part of the process and trying to accept it. synopsis: a backpacker meets her younger self on a train through the mountains of slovenia. their quiet encounter becomes a heartfelt conversation about growing up, the strength of childhood, and what we leave behind for those we never meet. looking back now, i mostly feel gratitude. this film would not exist without the trust, talent and generosity of so many people. from the very beginning this project felt special and somehow everyone involved carried that same spirit into it. even when things were chaotic or difficult, there was so much heart in every moment. being surrounded by such warm and talented humans reminded me why i love filmmaking so much. a group of strangers slowly becoming something that feels like a small family, all working towards the same fragile little story. thank you to everyone who believed in this film and gave their time, energy and soul to it. i saw it and i felt it. we’re now starting to submit Luzi to festivals, and there might be a small family & friends screening soon. if you’d like to come, send me a message and i’ll let you know once we set a date. love m Cast: @annalenaschwing & Roxie Peitz-Eickels Producer @alienaline_ Production Company @simonundpaul EP: @simonfessler @t_paul @markoroth Directed by @markoroth Written by Sarah Schill DoP: @josuastaebler Editor: @phil.osterbaum Music by @wearemodular.wav Sound Design: @berg.dahl.audio Color: @manuportschy Casting: @matheiscasting @karolinasview Service Production: @basproductiongram Service Producer: @patriksimenc 1St AD: @davidpodgornik Full credits in comments 🫶🏽 Shot on location in Slovenia.
