THIS
IS
YOUR
STORY
Because behind the mask
of good and evil
lies the treasure
of who you truly are.
Fourteen films. One Universe. One author.
by writer & director
Johannes Wachsmuth
At some point, something breaks.
Your relationship.
Your identity.
The reality you believed in.
And suddenly
your life is crumbling like a house of cards.
This is where
begins.
The worm now builds itself a house,
only to destroy it again
in order to be born
as a butterfly.
It begins with a descent
into total inhibition.
To escape his weakness,
the protagonist must first become its opposite
before he can return to his center,
to who he truly is.
My films do not explain this journey.
They make you pass through it.
Through a transformation
that is already laid out
within you.
They are intensely plot-driven
and forces transformation.
If Lynch made you feel it,
and Nolan made you think it,
makes you identify yourself in it.
because these stories
make the invisible
visible.
because the road
runs through shadow
into
Light
exists on two levels
Small. Precise. Uncompromising.
Ultra-lean productions.
Arthouse cinema.
Streaming.
These films are laboratories,
where the universe expands
and the audience is built.
Larger in scale.
Wider in reach.
International co-productions.
Cinema release.
Global audience.
These films bring the vision
into the world.
With the potential
to become cult classics.
Two speeds.
One universe.
One author.
In a saturated market,
recognizability is currency.
is not just a genre.
It is a world.
With its own laws. Its own aesthetic. Its own emotional logic.
Several films carry cult potential,
designed for long-term audience loyalty,
cross-media expansion,
and cultural imprint.
Because identity is not created once.
It is built through repetition.
Through pattern.
And people don’t remember visuals.
They remember patterns.
THE BLACK & WHITE GAME
Feature film | 79 min
Genre: Myth Noir Thriller
written & directed by Johannes Wachsmuth
*2023
A man is trapped
inside a stark black-and-white computer game
where only two kinds of avatars exist:
victims and offenders.
When a mysterious woman offers him a way out,
he must first become the other avatar
and play the game against himself to crack its code.
„In essence,
THE BLACK & WHITE GAME
is more than a film;
it's a philosophical inquiry
wrapped in the guise of a sci-fi thriller.
Wachsmuth, much like David Lynch
in "Mulholland Drive,"
uses the medium
to explore deeper truths
about identity, reality,
and the human psyche.
This film is a must-watch
for those who appreciate cinema
that challenges, provokes,
and ultimately enlightens. Grade A.“

Helios has just quit his former life
when a woman named Iris jumps into his car
after a bank robbery.
Their forced escape becomes a fragile alliance

or heading towards a glorious future.
This is not a road movie about escape
- it is an initiation.

Johannes Wachsmuth is a writer, director,
cinematographer, producer
and founder of WUNDERWALD productions.
He creates films as an act of authorship,
developed, shot, and realized with full creative control.
His vision is rooted in the idea of self-realisation
as the only way to break the patterns we repeat.
His work is driven by strong premises, clear authorship
and plot-driven mythic storytelling about transformation.
His debut feature THE BLACK & WHITE GAME
was produced without a crew
and received multiple international awards.
It marked the beginning
of the MYTH NOIR universe.
The pattern repeats
– until it is seen.
If you see it
– you are already part of it.
