The Defiant

We were comissioned by Fabian&Fred to help with a Concept Trailer for a project in development back in 2020 - The Defiant

Pitch

Hermann Langbein fights for humanism and against forgetting.
His opponents: Franco, Hitler, Stalin.
His allies: solidarity, humanism, courage.
He became a chronicler of the criminal ideologies of the 20th century.

The full trailer is not released for the public eye, but we got permission to show a couple of shots as snippets of the concept trailer.
