DBC : OSCAR for Steve Summersgill and Grand Budapest Hotel, WWF 'I am Nature' Commercial, Spots for A1 TELEKOM AUSTRIA and VW LAMANDO plus directors SOPHIA+ROBERT and their experimental film '399' on GoSee

The entire DBC –Driven by Creatives family is just as happy as Art Director Steve Summersgill (DBC Berlin) and the Art Department Team of Wes Anderson’s The Grand Budapest Hotel about the Oscar in 2015 for the ‘Best Production Design’. Made in Germany becomes Made in Goerlitz becomes Made by DBC. We, the GoSee team, would like to congratulate as well and take this opportunity to show you the trailer of the film which, quite rightly, has received this awarded. More fantastic art work by Steve Summesgill can be found in his GoSee PORTFOLIO.

The new WWF film ‘I am Nature’ shows us where we come from and where we go to – and that the way we do it does not always make sense. The spot, much discussed in the net, was directed by Alex ESLAM (DB Esther Kurle), DOP was Stephan BURCHARDT (DBC Halina Dietrich) and since we know that ‘all good things come in threes’, Merlin ORTNER (DBC Esther Kurle) was responsible for the production design. Other films directed by Alex can be found on his DBC page: drivenbycreatives.com/#talent 10681 4541.

The new A1 TELEKOM AUSTRIA Commercial was directed by LISK & PASSARDT. In order to match the claim “WIR BRINGEN DIE ZUKUNFT ÜBERALL HIN” (we can get the future anywhere) the network giant offers a nationwide optical fiber technology for Austria. The music is delivered by the US American Indie-Rockband Awolnation.

SOPHIA + ROBERT present their latest film project 399, which seems very experimental, with GoSee. “399 is dealing with elements from advertising, feature and experimental films. This has been a small project close to our hearts. Pictures of it have been in our minds already for a longtime and we had to get them out of there. Moreover, it was important to us to enter new territory – which is the future. Our former films were rather timeless, respectively facing the past." The film on GoSee
