About the Project Isaac & Rebekka is a contemporary short film inspired by the biblical story of Isaac and Rebekah from Genesis 24. The film reimagines the ancient story in a modern context, exploring themes of love, faith, purpose, and the idea of being guided toward someone. Rather than simply retelling the biblical narrative, the project focuses on translating its core themes into a contemporary visual language that feels relatable to today’s audience. My faith in God also played an important role in how the story was approached and brought to life through the visual language of the film. As my Bachelor’s project in Communication Design, the film allowed me to bring together storytelling, directing, cinematography, and visual design. The final film is not perfect and contains mistakes and imperfections, but these are also an honest part of the creative process. Every decision, challenge, and mistake became part of my learning experience and contributed to my development as a filmmaker and designer. The film is entirely in German.
