We are students at Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences and will be making our graduation film "Space Weather" in autumn 2022. These include Leopold Hotz (director), Clara Dörholt (production and set design), Maxim Kuznetsov (camera), as graduates. Fellow students Michelle Frey (screenplay) and Lucas Yalaza (production) are also on board.
