NOTHINGMAN
A NEW MYSTERY / THRILLER FILM FOR 2023
Alliances are forged when two opposing forces struggle to establish dominance in a desolate city. As humanity's relationship with the environment is tested, wildlife traffickers clash with eco-warriors and pseudo-scientists at the crossroads of Europe.
A humble ornithologist, battling his own demons, attempts to piece together clues to discover the reason for an ever-increasing number of mysterious deaths, as paranoia grips the city of Berlin when the government sanctions a shady organisation to collect the bodies of victims.
A fearless band of Eco-warriors determined to let nature take its course, take up arms and plot the downfall of an unorthodox band of misfits longing for human kind's next evolutionary step. Meanwhile, a local gangland boss with his eyes on a bigger prize, entices a former white collar felon, who is torn between his affection for a headstrong Eco-warrior and the chance to cash in.

The film captures our collective emotions as we continue to live through this current, uncertain moment in time. NOTHINGMAN tackles themes of disillusionment, inequality, climate change and the loss of human connection.

The driving themes are what we love - interwoven agendas from different factions within an ever changing story. A location-heavy agenda and a low-light aesthetic meant a need for a lighting design that mixed portability with clever coverage.
