FISH:

The difference between Fish and my previous productions lies not only in the selected target group (children and young people), but also in the technology used and content,

On the topic of sustainability, I write regular articles in my article series “Sustainable Living” and publish them in the weekly LinkedIn newsletter. This is how the idea of ​​producing this film animation came about in order to illustrate to children and young people in an audiovisual way the great importance of environmental protection.

 

My role(s): 

I'm acting for the first time after my first production from 2021 ("the Fantastic Adventure", music video for the album Lifestyle), here again as an actor. 

At FISH I was also responsible for directing, film script, recording, animation, production/post-production, sound and character design.

 

Soundtrack:

The soundtrack produced and used for the film will be released as a music album with additional sound material in 2025.

 

Further news about this project will appear here, in the blog and on the press releases page.
