In our short film “Nearest and Dearest” a boy would love to stop time, so his bigger sister won’t move out. His grandmother apparently knows how to do the trick: Scaring someone at the right moment. If you want to know how this works you can watch the film on Easter (April 4th) as part of the TV show “Siebenstein” at 10:40 a.m. on KIKA.
Trude lives together with a big obscure beast, which has the power of an elephant, the brashness of a child, but not a clue what’s good manners… ‘Trudes Tier’ (Trude’s Flatmate), directed by Klaus Morschheuser, Johannes Weiland and Michael Bohnenstingl and designed by Sandra Brandstätter and Sebastian Koch, is our latest tv-series project for the children’s tv show ‘Die Sendung mit der Maus’. The episodes will have their tv premiere on Das Erste / KIKA on 27th of April, 4th of May and 11th of May at 11:30 am.
