Florian Herzog

For "The Last Case" Florian Herzog appeared for the first time as a director. He realized the four-minute film noir detective thriller, which deals at its core with the topic of acceptance and thus initiated the starting signal for future projects and founded his own brand Elyrium Films with its creation. Herzog wrote the script, outlined the storyboard and directed the film himself. Post-production was also handled entirely by Florian Herzog. The production period was from February 2021 to July 2021, and the film was shot in a single day. For his work on "The Last Case," Florian Herzog was nominated as best director at the Breaking TV Film Festival in London.

Florian Herzog's second project for Duke Productions started right after "The Last Case". Again, Herzog took over the entire pre-production, directed and edited "Every Rose Has Its Thorn". The project was shot over a seven-day period from August 2021 to December 2021.

With what he had already learned from Florian Herzog's previous cinematic works, he ventured into his third project: "No Turning Back". A rather experimental short film that deals with the question at what point the "point of no return" was reached. For the third time, Herzog wrote the script, drew the storyboard and did all the post-production. Like Herzog's first work, "No Turning Back" was shot in just one day.
