The most boring Granny in the whole world

Our Diploma Project “The most boring Granny”,
is very special to me. I am still very grateful to be able to Direct this Project.

It was a great experience, to work with over 20 people on this
7 Min. 3D-Animation Shortfilm.

Have a look at our Instagram Page, to get some insight about the Project and the Process.


We where very happy about out Premiere at the Berlinale 2022 and 
to be Shortlisted for the Yugo BAFTA Student Awards 2022.

Some insights of how I planed and staged the shots. My approach was to go from small to big, from rough to detailed. 
With every new Version I could add another level of detail. 

And there is no Film-making without Teamwork.
Please check them out on Instagram.
