FCZ | Yanick Brecher

What originally began as a social-media project for goalkeeper and FCZ captain Yanick Brecher developed over the course of the season into a cinema film. At the start, the task was to follow Yanick Brecher from match to match and to give him a stage on social platforms. Alongside photos, more and more video footage was filmed, on and off the pitch. So, while the season was still under way, the idea took shape to produce a film from the material we'd gathered and the special moments around FCZ. In this passion project, I got to fully express myself in design, film and storytelling. I was involved in the visual development, the logo, the photo and video work, the editing and the social-media management. I even got to experience the in-the-moment thrill of a Champions League match for myself, one I covered photographically on my own. As an FCZ fan, I'm thrilled to have helped shape so many parts of the project. Experiencing the championship season so closely and turning it into a film that ended up showing in cinemas remains an unforgettable experience for me, professionally too.
