Scrubby
I’m not entirely sure if Scrubby is a marsupial or a young creature who just enjoys the warmth of his mother’s fur – I like to think it is a combination of the two. However, things aren’t right in Scrubby’s world. One morning he wakes up, warm still in his mother’s fur, but when he ventures outside he realises that it is all that remains of her. As any child would, Scrubby goes on a hunt for his mother. Yet, what he discovers will lead to a test of his character.
Scrubby sprang to life under the direction of Paul Vollet,
brought to the screen with the technical wizardry of Paul Golter and Lukas
Kapp, and given its sonic heartbeat by sound designers Niklas Menschik and
Jonathan Rösch. Its vivid world was animated by a talented crew - Müge Bulazar,
Deborah Callenberg, Harald Dieterichs, Lilli-Luisa Heckmann, Christian
Kaufmann, Marius Magracia, Stella Raith, Felicitas Schmelz, Vanessa Schneider,
and Elias Weber - each adding their own spark of imagination. Created during
their time at the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg, this student project bursts
with the energy and creativity you’d expect from a team on the rise.
