In "RATZ", Thoelen encapsulates his own life experiences into an image that invites viewers to contemplate the meaning of choices and the paths we tread. "Life is what you make of it," says Thoelen, and this idea forms the core of his artistic vision. It's noteworthy that "RATZ" was captured in a single shot, with each actor present in the scene actually being present in the meticulously crafted set, which Thoelen personally designed and built over months. From casting to directing, set construction to decoration, every aspect of the scene was meticulously crafted by Thoelen's hand.
