Write a short summary of what happens in the film
We created a 12-minute short film, to be seen on YouTube and in cinemas across Bavaria.. The story: 2 aliens had the mission to destroy the earth before humans pollute the universe with their CO2-Emissions. But then the Martians fall in love with Bavaria and its people and everything is fine in the end. A heartwarming story that reaches people where normal advertising doesn’t get: right in their hearts.
Background:
Bavaria is a beautiful state in Germany. Forests, lakes, mountains, inspiring cities. It’s packed with gorgeous destinations and popular amongst tourists and locals alike. But many people still use their cars to explore the countryside because they believe it to be cheaper, faster, and more flexible than using the far more sustainable trains from DB Regio Bayern. We wanted to change that. We wanted to make people aware of how important it is to switch to climate-friendly means of transport in times like these.
Describe the Impact:
Through the innovative use of a 12-minute timer, an exciting story was created that conveys the deep message and call for sustainable commuting and travel behavior at its core. With the help of the community management set up explicitly for this purpose, questions about the film could be answered and more space was given to the topic of climate-friendly transport. The community got involved and picked up. DB Regio Bayern places itself as a brand that is close to users and celebrates the beauty of the state of Bavaria regionally.

Explain how the work innovatively used the film medium.
In times where communication is characterized by short formats, fast cuts and mobile-optimized content, it was important to us to celebrate the cinematic experience. In addition, conventional television or cinema commercials are between 30 seconds and 60 seconds long. But we came up with a 12 minute short film that ran in cinemas across Bavaria and on the web. A story, entertaining, non-promotional and peppered with hidden arguments for traveling sustainably by train and combined with a large portion of travel inspiration.
