Spirit of a tower clock

The spirit of a clock tower, taking the form of a girl, longs for the outside world. But what happens when her dream comes true? (Fantasy-Short 25min)

Caroline is the spirit of the clock tower and has been lonely in it since her father's death. When lightning strikes, she is able to leave the tower for the first time and escape to the outside world. Nevertheless, she is always drawn back to the tower and the question remains: What will she choose? We want to tell this story in a 25-minute film, with exciting effects, costumes, and everything that goes with it.

What is this project all about?

Caroline, the spirit of the clock tower. She is trapped in the clock tower all alone, with no one to hear or see her. All she wants is to escape as far from her prison and her pain as possible.When lightning strikes the tower one night, she is able to cross the threshold and flee into the city. There she meets Mina, who offers her a new home, and Julian, who wants to take her out into the wide world. But even though she now has everything she longed for, she is always drawn back to the clock tower. Now she can talk to the tower guard Theo for the first time, whom she has only been able to observe until now.Will Julian take her out into the wide world? Or will she find her way back to the tower clock through Theo?

What is the project goal and who is the project for?

This story is about repression and the search for one's own place in life. Like Caroline, we often feel like we're being crushed by our problems and just want to escape. How can you find your way in a new world when you have no footing? Is this world a way out of her lostness, or just a distraction from her thoughts?What is certain is that Caroline is embarking on an exciting journey that will shape her.And we want to show you this journey in an exciting and soulful fantasy film.

Why would you support this project?

Support us in our project that we can carry our story into the world in a special way and give the genrefilm in Germany some urgently needed growth.

How will we use the money if the project is successfully funded?

Let's release Caroline into the world together! All money you donate goes directly to the project. This money is used to buy materials and borrow equipment. Our crew (since we are a student project) works purely for food, fuel costs, and experience.

Who are the people behind the project?

We are four aspiring filmmakers. In "Spirit of a Clock" Fenja takes on the role of director and screenwriter. As Director of Photography, Theresa is responsible for image design. Sirin and Niklas are responsible for the realization of the film in the role of producers. In the making of the trailer we proved a harmonious team. Now we want to show our skills on the big screen!
