Wojtek Jezowski is a repeat offender! He just can’t stop making great films!

In 2014 he took home the WorldMediaFestival Grand Prix for” 2020: THE SERIES” and now in 2022 he won the Grand Prix for the follow-up series “Project: 2030”. Both sci-fi series were created by Wojtek and his production company Black Rabbit, Poland, for Trend Micro.

PROJECT: 2030 has been translated in 10 languages and can be viewed here:

Wojtek has succeeded brilliantly in staging a complex topic in such a way that it is not only important and captivating for experts, but also for a global audience like you and me. It’s a challenge, since it is about how the advancing development of technologies and the resulting cybercrime could change our society in the near future, what impact cyberthreats, AR, VR, metahumans, metavers…. for all of us in the world by the year 2030 could have. A look into the future with topics that must interest each of us!

This branded sci-fi series proves once again that corporate films can be top-notch in every way. Keep on going, Wojtek!

An Award Ceremony of a different kind

Posted on by wmf-admin

An Award Ceremony of a different kind took place this year for Oliver Goetzl from Gulofilm, Hamburg. For his magnificent film WHITE WOLVES – GHOSTS OF THE ARCTIC, he was awarded the WorldMediaFestivals 2020 Grand Prix. But how to honour him in times of social distancing? Without a stage, without live band, without dinner, without guests, without spotlight, without applause, without the song “Simply the Best”. . without everything that usually bring the WorldMediaFestivals to life. . .

A meeting on a wonderful summer day at the banks of the river Elbe, the skyline of Hamburg in the background, chilled champagne, screeching seagulls, sparkling awards in the sun and a lot of good vibes – even with a face mask. The awards were handed over by Sara Chinbuah to the happy Grand-Prix winner Oliver Goetzl. There was a lot of laughing and chatting – and “Simply the Best” was played from the cell phone. Here are the pictures taken of this special moment 🙂
