FAR//FERN is a visual interpretation of chosen steps from “The Hero’s Journey” formulated by Joseph Campbell. Filmed across several locations in Vienna and Upper Austria the short film follows NDZW embarking on his own journey in search of greater understanding.

The movie is loosely based on the concept of the ”hero’s journey” popularized by Joseph Campbell in his book “The Hero with a Thousand Faces“. Filmed across several locations in Vienna and Upper Austria, it combines two storylines. First one focuses on the chosen steps of the “hero’s journey” told through the works of NDZW – urban painter, illustrator and narrator at the same time. The other one follows the artist embarking on his own actual journey in search of greater understanding of himself and his artistic process.
