Since 2012 Johannes Ziegler works as a freelance filmmaker, director of photography and steadicam operator in the field of film and commercials.
Since then, he has been awarded with numerous international prizes with his film projects.
His latest short film "KRUMP" won the Special Jury Award at the Madrid Art Film Festival 2017 and at the New Zealand Film Awards 2017.
On the Podere Usignolo, in Tuscany, sustainability and harmony with nature are practiced and a special olive oil is produced together with diligent helpers. Exactly this unique atmosphere and this beautiful piece of earth presents this film. In the soft glow of the autumnal sun, olives are picked with bare hands.
At the End the question arises, what does quality mean, what is the value of the work and how does it affect our personal happiness.
