Robert ASCROFT c/o SEVERIN WENDELER realized a photo and film project with Olympic athlete Ciara Short – posing for his camera in a thrilling setting. What clients appreciate most about him is how the photographer and director skillfully gives a print and film campaign the same look & feel. And that he can deliver the musical score, too. Such is the case in the latest commercial for which he wrote the music himself. His first ambient album entitled INTERVALS was recently released and can be heard on Spotify.
“Professional athletes push themselves everyday and follow the same ideals. Ciara Short is among the dedicated individuals who inspire greatness. It is refreshing to be surrounded by such determination and grace. Together we created a cinematic fantasy world of edgy sport fashion which is an escape from the usual trend, all the while leading the way as visual storytellers. Assembling a team of talented and dedicated artists to help bring it all together is always key to success on these shoots.”

The client is Literatur der Zukunft, an independent art network, which has been publishing books and audiobooks far from the mainstream since 2012.
Akutagawa’s story ‘Im Dickicht’ is set in ancient Japan. The exact course of events linked to a murder is presented in eight contradictory witness accounts. The archaic tragedy of the events is reflected with the virtuosity of modern storytelling. Ryunosuke Akutagawa (born 1892 in Tokyo, committed suicide in 1927) is among the most significant authors of new Japanese literature. His masterpiece served as the template for Akira Kurosawa’s famous film Rashomon. GoSee : literatur-der-zukunft.de//akutagawa-im-dickicht
