My new short ROTTEN CANDY has been selected for the 42nd Max Ophüls Filmfestival 🌿 The film will be screened in January as part of the medium length competition. "Rotten Candy" is a 30-minute dramedy about a young woman who journeys to a remote Scottish island to seek out her biological father. Unfortunately she kills his sheep along the way and things get a bit messy... The film stars Bobby Rainsbury and Gilly Gilchrist. Thanks to our wonderful casting director @simonepereirahind for her support 🌹 And thanks to these crazy people who accompanied me all the way to stormy Lismore Island, helped me find a dead sheep and slept in an abandoned bothy for two weeks 🐑🙏 Producer @christopheralbrodt Cinematography @thorschon Co-Writer, Costume & moral support @anin_reyem 1st, 2nd & 3rd AC & everything else @jannisdanikas And thanks to the rest of the team: Producer @marius_opus Editing & Mix @twixydixy Sound Design @belabrandes Composer @christiandellacher Music Supervisor @thagsagent @m_of_altona Co-produced by @filmschule_koeln Additional thanks to our tutor @hajoschomerus @filmfestival_maxophuelspreis #maxophülspreis #ffmop #ffmop42 #ffmopdahemm #rottencandyfilm #scottishfilm #scottishislands #lismoreisland #roadmovie #newshortfilm #scottishpeople #scottishactors #filmposter #studentfilm #femaledirectors #femalegaze #womeninfilmmaking #womeninfilm #directors #filmstudent #dramedy #britishcomedy #britishactors #britishfilm #filmmakers #shortfilmdrama #shortfilmcomedy #studentshort #filmfestivals #filmpremiere Photo by Julia Fayngruen
