Upperfirst has collaborated with Brosmind to create this fantastically original opening title for this years OFFF festival in Barcelona. This epic and entertaining tale plots the saviour of the earth via a comical space-laser driven solution and then some. Erik Arheden from Upperfirst explains the collaboration with Brosmind; “They were to develop a double-feature comic book and our job was to create the film. After meeting with them in Barcelona earlier this year we went home and developed the script. We had to lock down the story early on as Brosmind would do the comic books parallel to our work with the film and the two projects had to be intimately connected.” It is refreshing to see such original, offbeat storytelling for what can sometimes be a very serious arena of opening titles.
