Text: 
Sólin - Inner 
Deep down inside the center of the earth 
There are things happening we can’t see 
Sometimes I can hear voices 
They are coming from beneath the ground 
They circle around 
And make me want 
To shout out loud 
Beneath the ground 
They circle around 
And make me want 
To shout out loud

Brother

Shortfilm | 1:30m | 2023

In nur neunzig Sekunden erzählt Marcus Grysczok eine berührende persönliche Verlustgeschichte und nimmt mit in große emotionale Tiefen. Tune in: ein elektronisch verzerrter Aufschrei. Der Protagonist spricht zu sich und zu jemandem, der nicht mehr in der Welt, aber umso mehr im Herzen beheimatet ist. Er sucht einen Ausweg aus der Ohnmacht. Er nimmt eine fremde Rolle an und eilt als freilaufender Papierhund durch reale Regalfächer und über Tischflächen, rennt vorbei an Personen auf schwarz-weißen Fotografien und Alltagsgegenständen, jagt sich selbst auf einem Tellerrand. Die Bilder vermitteln das Gefühl von einem Zuhause – einem Zuhause für die Erinnerung und für das Leben. Tune out? Sobald der Hund innehält, beendet die Wirklichkeit das rastlose Treiben und macht den andauernden Verlust bewusst. Sprachlich wie auch gestalterisch poetisch formuliert der Film einen bewegenden, doch unverklärten Abschied vom Bruder.

In just ninety seconds, Marcus Grysczok tells a touching personal story of loss and takes us into great emotional depths. Tune in: an electronically distorted outcry. The protagonist speaks to himself and to someone who is no longer at home in the world, but all the more at home in his heart. He is looking for a way out of his powerlessness. He takes on a foreign role and rushes through real shelves and across table surfaces as a free-running paper dog, runs past people in black and white photographs and everyday objects, chases himself on the edge of a plate. The pictures convey the feeling of a home - a home for memories and for life. Tune out? As soon as the dog pauses, reality puts an end to the restless hustle and bustle and makes us aware of the ongoing loss. In terms of language and design, the film poetically formulates a moving, yet unexplained farewell to the brother.

#everythingwillbeokay

Shortfilm | 2:18m | 2021

The animation was produced as part of a university project in collaboration with a student from Hong Kong Baptist University. Its central theme revolved around resilience, with the animation being developed during the lockdown period. The project was rooted in an interview conducted by the Hong Kong student, which served as the foundation for the animation's narrative.

The question posed to me regarding my faith in God prompted me to open up and share something about myself that I wouldn't have otherwise disclosed. This personal revelation made the project particularly meaningful to me. Concurrently, alongside the university project, I enrolled in the Stop Motion 1 course at the Aardman Academy. This allowed me to delve into puppet animation, enriching my skill set and enabling me to integrate my newfound experiences into the animation's creation process.

The title of the animation was inspired by the ongoing events in Myanmar. One day, while reading the news, I came across a report about a young woman who tragically lost her life during the demonstrations against the military. Emblazoned on her t-shirt were the words: "Everything will be okay." This poignant moment served as the catalyst for the animation's title. The animation itself explores a dynamic of power relations being exploited.

Ultimately, the animation delves into the sobering realization that it's not solely institutions that perpetrate harm or threaten democratic processes, but also individuals like you and me who wield power to their advantage. This realization ignited a sense of frustration within me while simultaneously providing the impetus for creating the animation during the lockdown period.
