"The Obelisk"
"The Obelisk" (www.the-obelisk.com) is a feature length post-apocalyptic survival thriller written by Alexey Hartlieb-Shea and directed by Béla Baptiste.
​
The film follows David and Pliny as they navigate America’s apocalyptic landscape and evade the looming specter of the powers that be, while Elizabeth, a public relations manager, becomes embroiled in a potential cover-up with disastrous ecological consequences—but there's a twist.
​
"The Obelisk" will premiere in 2025. Here is a trailer.
"Vermessen" / "From Where I Stand"
"From Where I Stand" is a buddy comedy/drama about perspective. The film follows Ashraf, a jaded land surveyor from Vienna, and his boisterous, unlikely assistant as they are forced to complete a job in a beautiful alpine village. Ashraf's aloofness and guardedness collide with Andre's curious and social nature—but the two have more in common than they initially realize.
​
"Vermessen" / "From Where I Stand" will be shot in Austria in 2025.
