Der Panther
2024
Production: X-Filme for Paramount +
As part of a series of adaptions of the popular podcast series “Zeit Verbrechen”, director Jan Bonny chose to tell the story of “Der Panther”, a shady petty criminal who is leveraging his connections to underground crime against his employment as an undercover contact for the criminal investigation department. As the camera follows only the rushed and frenzied life of our main character, rare moments of calm storytelling are provided by the protagronist’s text messages. These appear as colorful full-frame screens with subtle use of mono-spaced typography. We designed those “text”-screens as well as the main-on-end credits.
