It's a great honor to welcome Lydia Obute as a member of our cast! You may already know her: In 2011 she won the 3rd season of the TV show "Austrias Next Topmodel" and has since been successfully working as a model and actress. She's going to play the elfish huntress Keona in the WIENERLAND web series. 

Losing our planned location was bad, but we didn't let it get to us (at least not too much) and finally found a new one! The new location is simply great: It offers us lots of different possibilities and inspires us to keep on working hard on our series. 

Endlich! Wir haben uns vom Verlust der ursprünglich geplanten Teaser-Location nicht demotivieren lassen und wurden fündig: Der neue Drehort steht dem alten um nichts nach - ganz im Gegenteil! Er bietet viele unterschiedliche Möglichkeiten, was uns inspiriert und zur weiterhin fleißigen Arbeit an unserer Serie anregt. Weiter geht's...

We are so incredibly proud to introduce our new concept artist - Mr. David Johnson from Missoula, USA. He is an amazing illustrator who will create our landscapes and posters and thus contribute enormously to how our world is going to look and feel.

The script for the WIENERLAND teaser is finished. Jan finally found the right words to voice his thoughts and ideas. The result is not only a first draft, but the complete and 100 % finished script, to read over and over again. Feels great!

So now that we got that - when do we start shooting?

The next leading role was cast: Jeannine Mik will play our second main character. The young girl Atalja may seem weak, but cheats her way through life quite well... most of the time. We're happy to have Jeannine in our team and are really looking forward to working with her!

Cros surpassed himself once again and now we can finally proudly present our "emblem". You'll see it several times throughout our character's journey, but beware: Hardly any good's gonna come of that.

Today we learned how adjustable one has to be when it comes to film production and creating a new world the hard way. While we were really lucky thus far, we suffered a severe setback. The location on which we wanted to shoot almost the complete teaser does not longer exist. Hundreds of meters of dark tunnels, amazing buildings... gone. And so the search starts all over again.

WIENERLAND allows us to explore the fascinating world of conlanging. A "constructed language" is a language, that was built for a certain purpose and stands in contrast with natural languages. Conlangs have their own working grammar, vocabulary and special phonological characteristics. You probably know such languages from Tolkien's Middle Earth and Game of Thrones (Dothraki, Valyrian). And because we're so massively lost in our world, we of course also create our own letters and writing system.

We're happy that we can finally brag about having cast our first leading role for the WIENERLAND teaser and web series: H.C. Haas is going to play "Gruben", a straying smuggler. We were looking for a crazy, unpredictable guy with a good heart - and that's exactly what we found! 

H.C. Haas hat das Rennen um die Rolle des herumstreunenden Schmugglers "Gruben" gewonnen und somit steht einer der Hauptcharaktere für Wienerland endlich fest. Gesucht haben wir einen durchgeknallten, unberechenbaren Typen mit gutem Herz - und genau das auch gefunden!

If you want to create a mask yourself, you better know exactly how to do it. Otherwise it's likely to look incredibly cheap and just really bad. Even though we're working on our mask building skills, we are not yet in a position where we honestly dig our created stuff. So we ordered two high quality masks from Composite Effects for our WIENERLAND teaser production. The orc and dwarf masks are being shipped to us and we can't wait to hold them in our hands!

Masken machen will gelernt sein, und weil wir's (noch) nicht so gut können, greifen wir zurück auf die hochwertigen Latex-Masken von Composite Effects. Orc und Zwerg sind bestellt und wir können es kaum erwarten, sie in unseren Händen zu halten - oder am Kopf zu tragen.
