"Vermessen" / "From Where I Stand"
"From Where I Stand" is a buddy comedy/drama about perspective. The film follows Rafi, a jaded land surveyor from Vienna, and his boisterous, unlikely assistant as they complete a job in a beautiful alpine village. Rafi's aloofness and guardedness collide with Andre's curious and social nature—but the two have more in common than they initially realize.
"Vermessen" was shot in Carinthia, Austria in 2025 and will premiere in 2026! Here is a trailer:
