Creative collective Holocene signs with Markenfilm Group
Copenhagen based creative collective Holocene has signed with Markenfilm Group for exclusive representation in their native German market as well as in Switzerland and South Korea.
The trio of film-makers Holocene are known for intimate storytelling in both long and short formats bringing a wealth of craft disciplines to the table including script writing and concept development.
“Being moved to act after watching a film is a sure sign that a director has got through to the audience in a tangible way.” is the reason Katherine Smithson, Head of Director’s Department for the Markenfilm Group cites upon being asked which quality of their work attracted her attention. “After watching Holocene’s poignant film Osynlig those of us who still have mothers all called them and within the hour we had reached out to Holocene themselves.” she continues referencing Holocene’s interpretation of “What does home smell like?” for IKEA’s scented candle range.
For Flook Nielsen, Leonard Rääf and Mathias Skaarup-Schmidt, this step is significant with the craft of storytelling in German advertising acting as a benchmark and source of inspiration for the Scandinavian industry. “The quality of scripts from Germany and the partnership-style approach to film making that Markenfilm Group offers are just two of the many reasons why we are taking this step at this time in our career and we are very excited to bring what we have to offer to this market.”
