A major hit on the festival circuit, this surprisingly emotional tale of a satellite technician and his battle with loneliness was created at Team Tumult in Zurich with Frederic Siegel and Benjamin Morard directing.

The effective mix of design and narrative so evident in “The Lonely Orbit” can be seen in previous Team Tumult work like this music video for Too Mad, this brand film for Freitag, and this cheery short film about death and mourning.
