What is this project all about?

"NEMESIS", our master's degree project at RheinMain University, is a feminist series concept that sensitively and authentically addresses the multifaceted experiences of women in toxic relationships. In doing so, we innovatively integrate modern influences, including AI-generated animation, to tell the story of our main character Numi in a more intense and immersive way.

We deliberately focus not only on the darker side of such relationships but also emphasize the cohesion and inner strength women can develop in such challenging situations. The series is an ode to female resilience, empowerment and self-liberation journey. Through deep insights into Numi's psyche and the use of humorous and ironic elements, we create a multi-layered and touching portrait.

Our vision goes beyond mere filmmaking: we want to inspire women to rise, recognize their power, and support each other. "NEMESIS" is thus more than just a film project; it is an affair of the heart and a clear message of strength and solidarity.

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

First of all, we want to create awareness. We want to bring the issue of toxic relationships into focus and raise awareness of this important and often taboo topic. Related to this is our goal of empowerment. Our story is meant to encourage women to break free from toxic relationships and recognize their inner strength. We believe in the power of storytelling to bring about positive change in the real world. In addition, we want to emphasize the importance of solidarity and support. We need to show how important the cohesion of women in difficult life situations is. Finally, this project offers us the opportunity to formulate this important topic with our creative skills and experience in a cinematic series concept. Our target group is diverse. First and foremost, we are targeting young adults, especially women in their twenties who are or have been in relationships and can identify with the issues portrayed. However, we also want to reach women of all ages who are interested in stories of female empowerment and self-liberation. Our project is for those interested in feminist narratives and stories of women's strength. We believe that "NEMESIS" appeals to a wide audience because it addresses universal messages and issues that are of great importance in today's society.

Why would you support this project?

As students and aspiring filmmakers, we are doing everything we can to realize our heart's project "NEMESIS". We are doing this project all by ourselves, without any funding and through your support you make it possible for us to tell this story and promote young female filmmakers. You are helping to strengthen the female voice in the film industry and to break the taboo around the topic of toxic relationships.
Your contribution is more than just financial help - it is a sign of solidarity and a step towards change.

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

Every euro raised goes directly into the production and implementation of the project. We want to make it clear from the beginning that we do not want to make a financial profit out of this project - our motivation is to visualize this important topic and to support young, upcoming female filmmakers.

Your contribution will be used to realize the production of the project and to compensate the crew and actors fairly. We will not keep a dime for ourselves but will put everything into this project.

The more support we get, the more we can give back to our cast and crew for their valuable work. And we would like to donate some of the proceeds to women's shelters and organizations to support those who need help the most.

Who are the people behind the project?

Behind "NEMESIS" is the dynamic duo of Joyce and Nelly, two students and at the same time inseparable friends, who together master both their studies and the challenges of this special project. Joyce, the creative soul of the team, wrote the script with passion, always counting on the supporting hand of Nelly. Our collaboration extends far beyond the writing, however: Joyce directs and brings her creative vision to the table, while Nelly acts as producer, making sure everything goes off without a hitch. Together, we are doing everything we can to make our vision a reality and deliver a meaningful message.

"NEMESIS" is much more than just a project for us; it is a matter of the heart, based on our own experiences and observations. Our close friendship and the individual journeys we have taken to get here allow us to tell a story that is marked by authenticity and depth - values that can only come from true connection. The story of "NEMESIS" touches us deeply because we have experienced and suffered through how women can be trapped in toxic relationships. These experiences have not only shown us the invaluable importance of women's circles for those affected but have also strengthened our strength and resilience. They have empowered us to grasp the multi-layered facets and chasms of this issue and bring them into our narrative.
