How do we finance ourselves?

THE STORY OF A NEW WORLD is based on crowdfunding. No compromises: No sneaky product placements in the film, no external influence on the content. Our financing comes from the grassroots and relies on four main sources: pre-sale of cinema tickets, donations, business partnerships with businesses that share our values and impact investments. It’s all about giving everyone a chance to be part of this journey. As a big thank you, we give props to all our supporters in the film credits and offer many more attractive perks along the way!

Originally, the film project was meant to be called FRIDAYS – THE STORY OF A NEW WORLD, and portray the Fridays for Future movement. However, it soon became clear that our vision for this film extends far beyond Fridays for Future. This is how the project evolved into the docu-fictional impact film THE STORY OF A NEW WORLD!

„With energy, much is possible – that’s something to be aware of…

Regarding the current transformation requirements, each individual’s next step is not insignificant, and it requires not only individual action but also a large-scale societal effort. And precisely for the surefootedness in this regard, this impetus for action, for the understanding of it, for grasping the necessity, for the elegance in action – in short, for the creative unleashing of the necessary processes for this new existence – this film is being created. – Naturally, count me in.“

„We gladly and wholeheartedly support Johanna, Carl, and the entire film team in this great initiative! Because we not only love this planet, but we need it. And because we want to enable ourselves and our children to have a tomorrow and a future. As a lifelong companion for people who want to supply themselves with clean energy, we at Solarwatt have been contributing to limiting climate change for around 30 years. It is all the more a matter of the heart for us to be one of the pioneers for the STORY OF A NEW WORLD.“

„The future belongs to future generations. With the FridaysforFuture movement there is for the first time a global youth movement, which is committed to a common cause. They demand more climate protection from all of us for the preservation of our planet. They have shaken us all up. The awareness for the necessary protection of the environment is growing in the population and also among celebrities, politicians and decision makers. The film FRIDAYS carries the worldwide FridaysforFuture movement further and reaches further target groups on an international level. We hope that deeds will now follow and that the powerful people of the world will finally take action. But also every single person can and must contribute to the protection of the global climate, every day. Because no one is too small to make a difference, as Greta Thunberg, an icon of the FridaysforFuture movement, aptly puts it. Only together can we succeed in saving the future of our successor generations. We are happy that we can support this project thanks to our participants and wish the film every success!“

„Without a rapid expansion of renewable energies in Germany, the climate targets can no longer be achieved. Just like the corona crisis, the climate crisis is a global problem, which must be solved at the local level. We are all challenged here, as the film FRIDAYS impressively documents.“

„We wholeheartedly support the film project ‚The Story of a New World.‘ As pioneers of aromatherapy, we stand for scent, light, and joy of life. While the current world situation with war, climate, and energy crises is concerning, there are numerous opportunities for change for the better – for us and for future generations. Boldly reconnecting, making commitments can be as liberating as it is inspiring – to experience that ‚it’s possible.‘ This attitude aligns with our consistently sustainable corporate philosophy: learning from nature and staying true to our own values. We aim to contribute to encouraging as many people as possible to actively participate in shaping our planet, our nature. The film addresses this and motivates us to connect with nature and positively change the world with new inspirations.“

„We support this film project to contribute to keeping Earth a livable planet. To achieve this, we need to rethink many things, openly and without blinders. This is exactly what this film will contribute to. Years ago, this led to the founding of E.V.A. GmbH: We reimagined cheese and developed Simply V plant-based cheese alternatives that can be used just like cheese. This allows everyone to make their diet more sustainable and reduce their ecological footprint. Because the way we eat has significant impacts on resource consumption, not only in Germany but worldwide.“

„Mit „Fridays for Future“ hat es eine junge, mitreißende Bewegung innerhalb kürzester Zeit geschafft, den Klimaschutz in den Mittelpunkt der globalen politischen Agenda zu bringen. Laut und selbstbewusst fordern diese Kinder und Jugendlichen zu Recht ein, was die erwachsenen Entscheidungsträger*innen seit Jahrzehnten verschlafen haben: dafür zu sorgen, dass auch kommende Generationen auf einem intakten Planeten leben können. Die Professionalität und die Kraft, mit der sie ihren Protest weltweit auf die Straße tragen, ist dabei absolut bewundernswert. Es gibt für Alle viel zu gewinnen, darum unterstützen wir diese Bewegung so stark.“

“It is extremely important, vital for people’s survival, that a new movement grows up – supported by the young people of this earth! As we older people didn’t make that possible, we now have to make room for the younger generation. We have to support this with all our strength and that is my intention to sponsor the film.”

„Keine Weltmacht, keine Wissenschaft und auch keine der vielen Klimakonferenzen haben geschafft, was Fridays for Future gelungen ist: den Klimaschutz so in den Köpfen zu verankern, dass zukünftig alles Handeln daran gemessen wird. Wir schätzen die kompromisslose Klarheit, mit der sie ihr Anliegen vorbringen, und wir haben allergrößten Respekt vor den Jugendlichen, die ihre Zukunft in höchster Gefahr sehen und dennoch nicht aufgeben.“
