Element P produces short film about domestic violence
On behalf of the Solothurn Cantonal Police, Element P is producing a four-part film series on the topic of community engagement, as seen from the perspectives of victims, perpetrators, citizens, and the police. The series kicks off with the film «The Shattered Dream,» which addresses domestic violence.
Element P tested a new approach for the script. Instead of extensive research, the story was developed in a one-day workshop together with around ten specialists from the cantonal police based on authentic cases. By the end of the day, not only was the script and dramaturgy in place, but the most important protagonists had also been cast and the filming locations determined. After two busy days of shooting, the film was ready.
For Andreas Mock, Head of Communications at the Solothurn Cantonal Police, it was an exciting experience: "The timing was sporty. But it allowed us to get to the heart of the matter quickly. The result speaks for itself."
Responsible at Cantonal Police Solothurn: Andreas Mock (Head of Communications). Responsible at Element P: Daniel Reichenbach (producer/cinematographer), Reto Waser (director), Michéle Zweifel (production manager).
