The Story
It took almost 12 months to shoot our new film for Steiermark Tourismus. We didn’t want to show the typical, superficial tourist cliches, but genuine, authentic subjects and moods. We searched for and found the best performers: the most beautiful landscapes from Southern Styria to the Dachstein mountain and featured real Styrian locals – such as winemaker Tamara Kögl, dirndl designer Bettina Grieshofer and mountain and ski guide René Guhl.
Our film portrays Styria’s variety and colorful beauty, it’s landscape, cuisine, culture and wide range of sporting activities… highlighting Styria as a premium quality tourist destination.
