Projekt 1450 - Die Mantaverschwörung

5minutes

Client: fictitious: Opel (non official spec)
Agency: none (written by Joh Kuemmel)
Production: Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg (Producer: Max Penk)
DOP: Ralf Noack

My part: idea, writer, director

This movie was a succesful viral experiment. We generated 100.000 views in only one week in Germany, countless blogs, internet articles, press and radio appearance; and it is not over yet...
The story is a fake documentary claiming that the countless jokes in the end 80's about the Opel Manta (a relatively cheap GM sports car) were created by Porsche...
The video disturbance was put into the film to support the backstory of a "stolen betatape".
The keyword "Manta" dramatically raised in the internet, and the fans expressed themselves.
We think it is time for a new Manta...
Unfortunately, the Manta myth only works in Germany.
