Director Statement

"Getroffene Hunde" (Barking Dogs) was the final exam round due to applications for the study of Directing at the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg in Ludwigsburg.
The task was to make a film within 72h the topics we were allowed to choose were:
"Schieflage" (skew positon)
"Alternative Fakten" (alternative facts)
"Schöner als jetzt kann der Regen nicht fallen" (the rain can not fall more beautiful than now)
Which topic did I choose ? :-)
