Overview

In a gripping tale set against the backdrop of Nazi Germany, a young boy's creative imagination, fueled by his comic book drawings, transports readers into a world where fantasy blurs with reality. At the tender age of 12, Walter, a gifted artist, finds solace in his art amidst the growing threat of the Nazi regime and the persecution of the Jewish people. Inspired by real-life events, this captivating coming-of-age narrative follows Walter and his brother through perilous times, resonating deeply with audiences and leaving them on the edge of their seats.


Challenges & Approach

In crafting 'Framed,' we embarked on a thrilling journey to revive a bygone era within the constraints of a short film budget. With animated sequences adding complexity, our challenge was formidable. However, our expansive network, spanning schools, wardrobe houses, and post-production collaborators, proved invaluable. Through their unwavering dedication and shared passion, we conjured a production rivaling studio quality at a fraction of the cost. This feat stands as a testament to the indomitable spirit of our teams and partners, united in their fervent belief in the power of storytelling.


The result

With boundless creativity, we whisked our audience away to a bygone era of immense challenge. Through breathtaking visuals, meticulously crafted costumes, powerful performances, and enchanting animation, we wove together an award-winning cinematic experience that continues to captivate and inspire audiences, its impact enduring long after its premiere. We're immensely thankful for the opportunity to share this journey with our viewers, and for the unwavering support that has fueled our creative endeavors.
