COMEDY SKETCHES

AUSTRIAN KIWI x HOLY MOLY films

In his sketches, the infamous Austrian Kiwi slips into a wide range of roles – from dad Sepp and mom Monika to the unfortunate Michi. The shoot days with our New Zealand friend are some of the funniest moments of our film work. At Holy Moly Films, we take care of everything on the technical side of filmmaking, before, during, and after the shoot. A perfect collaboration for a sketch series with one clear goal: YouTube world domination!

THIS IS NO BEER

Scorching heat on the construction site: 3:00 PM hits, and the crew is ready for their mandatory end-of-shift beer. But when the drinks arrive, panic ensues. No beer is being served – just a clear, odorless mystery liquid. What mythical substance have they just discovered and is it maybe even poisonous?

In this collaboration with Austrian Kiwi, a simple phone call turns into a hilarious linguistic battle. Watch Hannes struggle to find the right words when a million euros are on the line.
