Last but not least: A click of the mouse for a promotional contribution
Use a generator to come up with the plot for the next Swiss TV movie and immediately apply for funding from the Federal Office of Culture—nothing could be easier!
Director and screenwriter Patrick Karpiczenko and his colleague Janos Menberg have developed a plot generator that takes a satirical look at the standard of Swiss television films. If you press the "Generate Plot" button, with a bit of luck the technological marvel will spit out real treasures that no SF viewer would want to miss. For example, the film "Stalldrang" is about a pensioner "who wants to know again" and organizes a soapbox race together with the scatterbrained village priest. "The rebellious daughter helps." Birgit Steinegger, Erich Vock and Melanie Winiger are certainly already waiting in the wings. Since the usual suspects are happy to take on the leading roles, but not for free, a letter to the Federal Office of Culture is generated at the click of a mouse to apply for the necessary film funding. However, Karpiczenko admits to Tages-Anzeiger that the federal government is actually the wrong addressee because his generator primarily targets television films.
"The heatwave - A rapping grandma and a likeable German settle llamas in the Emmental and save the farm. Thanks to YouTube, the whole world hears about it." Or: "Firstly, things turn out differently and secondly, things turn out differently than you think - A kind-hearted but unsuccessful lawyer and a gangster rapper in search of meaning adopt an underage asylum seeker. It doesn't always have to be Hollywood." I've got one more... although: Try it for yourself! Chance writes the best stories. (hae)
