The Black & White Game indie movie laurels

„In essence,

THE BLACK & WHITE GAME

is more than a film;

it's a philosophical inquiry

wrapped in the guise of a sci-fi thriller.

Wachsmuth, much like David Lynch

in "Mulholland Drive,"

uses the medium

to explore deeper truths

about identity, reality,

and the human psyche.

This film is a must-watch

for those who appreciate cinema

that challenges, provokes,

and ultimately enlightens. Grade A.“

ABOUT NEW

ABOUT

THE STORYTELLER
Johannes Wachsmuth Filmmaker

I write screenplays as patterns.
The pattern is a developmental path  
and can best be illustrated
by the horizontal figure eight.

Lying eight, the path of the human

My films are equations

of this universal pattern.


And by the way,

the golden center

is not a little bit of this

and a little bit of that;

no, for me it is the one absolute truth.

Johannes Wachsmuth

FAQ

1) What makes cinematic storytelling different from traditional advertising?

Cinematic storytelling goes beyond selling a product – it creates an emotional journey.
Instead of slogans or staged sales pitches, it uses narrative structure, visual poetry, and atmosphere
to connect with the audience on a deeper level. It’s less about persuasion and more about resonance.

2. Why are short narrative films more effective than classic image videos?

People remember stories, not slogans. A narrative film condenses a message into an experience that touches both
the heart and the mind. Unlike generic image videos, which often feel interchangeable, narrative films stay unique,
memorable, and emotionally powerful – even when they are only a few minutes long.

3. What role do psychology and symbolism play in storytelling?

Every frame carries meaning. Colors, compositions, and recurring symbols can communicate emotions and ideas without words. By weaving psychology and subtle symbolism into the story, we create layers of meaning that audiences can intuitively feel, even if they can’t explain them consciously.

4. What does working with Wunderwald Productions look like?

Our process is collaborative and tailored. We start with a conversation to understand your vision and values,
then develop a narrative concept that reflects them. During production, we focus on authenticity, atmosphere, and detail.
In the end, you receive a film that doesn’t just represent your work – it embodies it.

5. What formats work best for international clients (such as construction companies, fashion labels, or sustainable brands)?

When it comes to raising awareness, it makes sense to produce short, snappy clips. When it comes to retaining potential customers, longer short films that have an emotional impact are the best choice.

6. How much does a professional short film for a company cost?

Budgets vary depending on concept, length, and production scale.
A professional short film is an investment – typically starting from a few thousand euros – but it pays off
by creating long-lasting emotional impact, far beyond what standard advertising achieves.
We provide transparent offers tailored to each project.

7. What is Continuous Movie Branding?

Continuous Movie Branding is a long-term storytelling approach where a brand develops a cinematic language
that evolves over time. Instead of one isolated campaign, each film becomes a chapter in an ongoing narrative, creating consistency, recognition, and emotional loyalty.

8. What are Brand Stories?

Brand Stories are short cinematic films that communicate the essence of a company through narrative
rather than direct promotion. They reveal values, atmosphere, and vision in a way that feels authentic and memorable,
allowing audiences to connect with the brand on a human level.​

9. How can Wunderwald Productions in Portugal help fashion labels, construction companies, and sustainable businesses tell their story through cinematic short films and continuous movie branding?

Wunderwald Productions, based in Portugal, creates cinematic short films and continuous movie branding for fashion labels, construction companies, and sustainable businesses. By combining narrative storytelling, psychology, and symbolism, we transform your brand’s vision into memorable, emotionally engaging stories that resonate with international audiences.
