In fall 2007 a crew of young filmmakers set out to produce opening scenes for a dystopian thriller written by director Gregory Glaser. Back then I took the chance to contribute to the short preview of what should become a full feature film in the years to come. Reaching the end of 2011 - several broken relationships, marriages, babies, trips around the world and dozens of other projects later - there is unfortunately no funding for the film. I thought it would be a shame not to show this lost piece of video to anyone. So I restored the unfinished cut, mixed some rough sound, added color grading and put it online. Enjoy what should have become »Moloch«.
»Moloch« is an absurd dystopian tale telling the story of anchoretic and cranky gink Ergen Baad. By mischance Baad finds himself as the last owner of a functioning clock in a world without time. Forced to flee from evil forces he joins an old passenger going by the name of Napoleon who tries to find a way out of the surrounding chaos. Together they start a journey into doom.
