Production has finished on Soi’s latest short for ZDF’s “Siebenstein” last week. In an amazing six weeks the lovely Adeline Grange, Benoit Tranchet, Bong Nguyen and Florian Parrot did a wonderful job bringing to life an emancipatory tale about a princess, her husband, and a dragon with a plan. The directors Jakob Schuh & Bin-Han To and all of studio soi would like to thank the entire team!

In March, we finished production of “Toto House“, a corporate film for Japanese sanitary manufacturer TOTO. Directed and designed by Soi’s Uwe Heidschoetter, the film premiered simultaniously on the web and at ISH ‘11 in Frankurt. We rececently received a few photos showing the framework the film was presented in at ISH, and we thought that they looked quite nice. Thank you, Toto.
