Fritz Frauendorf
Writer/Director/
Producer
After almost 3 years of having to shelve this project due to financial limitations, Fritz was able to finish funding this story and bring in the right talent to give it life. Having seen the world around him change and being upset with the fast passage of time, he wanted to dedicate a philosophical story to these ideas and challenge audiences to think.
Dona Nobis Pacem translates to Grant Us Peace, and Frauendorf credits Max Richter (composer for the TV series The Leftovers) for inspiring this title based off one of his tracks from the show.
Remo Rivero - Actaeon
Cody Mango - Detective Time
Fritz first met Remo and Cody at NYFA in 2017 in New York City, but it wasn’t until years later until they collaborated on their first project that Fritz directed. Remo brought the depth of Actaeon’s inner world to life as Cody challenged his views with the grounded Detective Time (as well as color grading the film beautifully).
Pietro Barba - Editor
Hunter Brockman - Sound Mixer
Fritz and Hunter have known each other over social media since 2014. It wasn’t until 2020 that they met in person when Brockmann helped out on Fritz’s previous major short film, re:attachment. Impressed with Hunter’s work ethic and having followed his individual efforts in post production, Fritz decided to bring Hunter onboard to give depth to the setting by adding layers of sound design.
A new collaboration with Pietro allowed Fritz to step back from usually editing his own films and watch magic unfold.
Dona Nobis Pacem, along with Fritz’s upcoming film, Manic Man, are part of a proof of concept for a feature film titled re:attachment, based off Fritz’s short film of the same name.
