Director Statement

This film was shot in one day in downtown Berlin in a two man team and is set in Los Angeles. This is the first project that was realized in UHD resolution. It was shot almost exclusively with available light with the new Sony A7sIII. The goal was to achieve a high quality result in image and sound without a budget and within a tight time frame.

Because of the contact restrictions in the pandemic, I started shooting comedy films in a small team and performing all the roles myself. This gradually developed into a concept that I kept expanding and that I think brings a lot of charm with it, because the character is always competing against himself in a certain way.
