German rapper Kontra K has a new music video that is an interactive murder mystery. Created with interactive digital studio Unit 9, it lets fans jump between the present and the past in order to solve a mystery. Via Unit 9:
Director Maximilian Niemann and producer Gerrit Klein worked with Berlin music label Four Music to create this unique project, co-produced with Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg. The experience showcases Kontra K’s new song “Next To You” (“An Deiner Seite”) and features the rapper as one of the main actors in the short film.
[Director Maximilian has said that] “Our immersive experience challenged everyone to keep both films in mind at all times. At all points in the experience, the storylines need to work on their own but also together. This was a challenge in terms of planning, but also for everybody involved on set. The crew did an outstanding job and I was especially impressed with how readily our actors embraced the concept and brought it to life.”
