Today it’s time to reveal Official Selection 9 out of 10: “Visualife” (Documentary) will be part of the Awards Show on November 9, 2011. Congratulations to David Köhlmeier from Austria!

Story Pitch

Claudia is a young and ambitious musician. With her son Moritz, she is living in Graz, Austria. Her passion is music, it is helping her to deal with life … The clip consists of a short interview sequence and some performance shots.

The whole idea of the feature production “Visualife” is kind of a mix between a music video and a documentary. 7 different musicians from 7 different cities are featured in the production. In a similar way to the example above, the musicians get interviewed in their “natural” surroundings, in the environments they are living and making their music. Then they will perform in front of the camera. The style of the clip, colors, camera movements, effects etc. always fit the style of the music itself. Via those images a story is told, without explaining every detail.David Köhlmeier
