FLOAT 

by Susi Sie is a short film, that tells the story of our lives in an abstract and philosophical manner; birth and death, desire and fear, unique moments and the eternal cycle of things. The musical score was composed by Thomas Schüssler.

All of its scenes were filmed with a Canon 5D Mark II, 100mm macro, and have been edited with no additional computer animation and effects.

The musical score, entitled Component 1, was composed by Thomas Schüssler, who sees himself not only as a musician, but also as a scientist and developer of advertising. His repertoire ranges from music for film and media to jazz and digital orchestral music.

FLOAT was played at several film festivals and was featured on many websites, including Das Kraftfuttermischwerk.
In 2011, FLOAT won the Airbed Movie Award at the Vienna Independent Shorts Film Festival.
