As a Boy of 8, I used to draw playful blueprints of secret hideouts, ancient temples, gritty pirate fortresses or sunken shipwrecks, which I then brought to life by using my Lego stones and Lego figures…

Now, 27 years later, I find myself as a trained Writer-Director with a background in Design, still doing the very same thing. But now, those Lego stones surprisingly have transformed into studio constructions and the Lego figures magically have turned into real life actors…

Leitgeb’s vision of a playful nostalgic Fantasy Adventure, that offers quirky Characters, cartoonish Slapstick and suspensful Mystery.
