JUNGLE

Web Series (5 Episodes), Coming of Age (2019)

It’s the last day of summer in Vienna, Austria. We follow a group of teenagers living, struggling and surviving through the golden age of the internet.

The 5 episodes of this web series (total runtime: 60 minutes) are a love letter to the internet generation. The characters and situations were heavily inspired by real profiles of young people on social media. Watching the episodes is supposed to feel like scrolling really fast through an Instagram feed. Watching this web series feels like the rush from going from one audiovisual idea to the next.

JUNGLE has no particular genre or plot, but rather travels through the genres of surrealism, gangster film, drama, music video and found-footage thriller – all painted on a coming of age/teen film canvas.
