AXEL RANISCH director of DICKE MÄDCHEN/ HEAVY GIRLS, German cinema release on 15th November, screenings + info, Trailer

Theatrical Release: „HEAVY GIRLS“

Dear friends,

now it has actually happened: my diploma film „HEAVY GIRLS“ will be theatrically released in German cinemas. Who would have thought that? Me never! I’m still speechless and happy given that such a small and cost-effective film can exert such an effect on the audience … even after one year of continuous festival touring (50 festivals in 13 countries and 16 awards). And all that for a movie, which my two brilliant lead actors Heiko Pinkowski and Peter Trabner as well as my own wonderful grandma Ruth Bickelhaupt and myself shot in just ten days with a budget of just over 500 Euros using nothing but our very own mini-DV camera. Without a team, without compromise and without premeditation. Simply for the love of shooting and acting.

“… HEAVY GIRLS is outrageous and impressive. A formal imposition that annoys you and that you struggle against. And yet you’re enticed to engage in it because it comes across like an act of liberation – which is why the means of storytelling are adequately correponding to the story that is told here:

Now it’s your turn! My colleagues and I would be delighted if all of you had a look at our cheeky little Opus 1 and/or recommended it. And if you buy a movie ticket, you can always pay for it with a good conscience: Because a quarter of every single movie ticket is invested in our next film.
Hugs and best wishes for a cheerful November! Yours, Axel
