Giant

Together with Bildersturm Filmproduktion GmbH we realized the production of “GIANT”, a short liveaction/animation-hybrid directed by Johanna Bentz. The film is part of the feature film “Grenzenlos – Geschichten von Freiheit & Freundschaft” funded by BKM, Film und Medienstiftung NRW and WDR – Westdeutscher Rundfunk.
The Film is currently traveling the festival circuit.

SYNOPSIS
6-year-old Ola has no place to play.
When she meets a giant, the two go on an exciting journey through the city. Ola quickly realizes that there are many problems around her. While a magical Giant may be helpful, it may not be the answer to everything.
