Experimental ´Short Film Die Grauen Herren / The Gray Lords
Hip-hop meets children's book, meets comic book world. "Die Grauen Herren" is an experimental music video inspired by the universe of Michael Ende's Momo.
The protagonist is recruited by the agents of the Time Savings Bank and tries by all means to convince his friends to save their lives. However, he soon realizes that he is not up to the task - much to the agents' chagrin. The tables are turned: the convinced time hunter becomes the hunted.
All life-size backdrops and sets in this video were made by hand from cardboard. The music track was written and produced for this video.
