Write a short summary of what happens in the film
Catapult Air is a fictional airline that brings people to the Northern German island of Sylt, with a catapult. Much faster and more reliable than the railroad. A budget production, that only features residents of the island, uses humour as its main tool to gain supporters for the railroad expansion petition. Background: the famous holiday destination island can only be reached with the single-tracked railroad that connects it to the mainland. Delays and cancellations are standard. Thousands of commuters must travel daily through this massive bottleneck to work on the island. Protests have been ignored for decades. Businesses and jobs are in danger.
Please tell us about the brand in relation to the locality or market where the product / service is distributed
Sylt is a strong destination brand, an idyllic island in the Northern German state of Schleswig Holstein. Most Germans dream to visit the island and the white sandy beaches its famous for. Thousands of jobs depend on the popularity of Sylt with tourists, but businesses are endangered by the infrastructure challenges. The “product/service” in this case was raising awareness about the desperate need for a railroad expansion so people in the region would support the existing petition addressed to the government. The video spread rapidly and a local issue turned into a national phenomenon that gained a lot of exposure for the Sylt brand.
