Jerkwater Town

Jerkwater Town is my new short film which I have written, directed, post produced, promoted and also acted in. It started out as my bachelors degree in media design and now became an awarded short film playing on several film festivals around the world.

The Story

Hansi needs to rob his former home, the shabby German village Jerkwater Town – much to the dislike of leader Fritz.
