About OnceONe
OnceOne is a Proof of Concept short film for a historical fantasy TV series set during the 30-Year-War in the northern Alps.
While the short mainly introduces the protagonist Zina and gives an idea of the look and feel of the show, the series itself will explores the theme of “together we are stronger”, giving it an unexpected twist:
For ONCE we are ONE, we can be the makers or breakers of a new world.
While being historical, the series picks up on current political issues like Populism, Demagoguery and the importance of young people coming together to design the world we want to live in. I’m currently writing the pilot episode of the series as part of my MA in Film at the Raindance Film School.
