About
I'm creating a short animated sci-fi film set in 'Dark Times' universe created by me. A soldier’s journal reveals his escape, transformation by alien forces into a clairvoyant, and perilous journey through dangerous territories.
Impact
"Dark Times" universe is a metaphorical representation of climate catastrophe and its consequences for society, both directly and indirectly. Each product in the Dark Times universe makes you think about about the impact of humans on the environment.
Progress
Since 2019, the "Dark Times" universe has developed a detailed concept and storyline. For "Diary of a Deserter," I have completed a short outline and draft script, laying a solid foundation for further development and production.
Team
I am an animator well-known for my work in a professional environment. I am also the author of several series set on "Dark Times" and the organizer of a large exhibition in Berlin about the that "universe". Please visit my website for details
