Voices
“VOICES” isn’t a film for one presidential candidate or another. It’s a film for democracy. It aims to motivate Americans to vote - by illustrating the risk of not exercising that right.
Low voter turnout and increasingly close election results in the United States mean that 25-30% of the voting-age population is determining things for 100% of the country.
There are so many burning issues right now - issues that are shaking our country to the core. We simply can’t afford to sit this election out. It’s more important than ever to vote - to make yourself heard.
“VOICES” is a private go-vote initiative developed by Matthew Branning, an American advertising creative, in collaboration with film director Björn Rühmann and DoP Kolja Brandt. This 90-second online film was produced by Zauberberg Productions and brought to life with sound design and original music by California Music.

Live Like You
In these times where everyday life has come to a halt:
What gives us the power to move on?
It's simple: It's that we stand with each other.
Think of each other. Support each other.
Care for each other - despite differences.
And even though we are socially distanced.
No one should feel alone.
Because that's how we'll finally get through these times:
By going through them together.
We are happy to reveal the hero film of the Skoda Octavia Campaign, directed by our wonderful Dorian & Daniel and co-created with Optimist and Thjnk. The campaign inspires us to pursue our passions and know what it means to Live Like You.
