action
On April 21, 1945, Major Grass received the order in a Berlin bunker from Adolf Hitler personally to start the secret project 819, which was prevented by a bomb hit. In contemporary Berlin, the trigger for project 819 is activated unnoticed during civil engineering work, whereupon a giant robot shark is released into the Spree and immediately looks for its first victims.
On the banks of the Spree, student Katharina observes a man who is taking a water sample. When she asks him about it, he blocks, but advises her not to bathe in the Spree. However, she does not give up, and so he tells her about Project 819. Major Grass was his grandfather who was killed in the bombing. Nobody wanted to believe his father, who found out about the project in Major Grass' diary, and so he has since taken water samples from the Spree in order to detect a possible activation of the robot shark. At first Katherina doesn't believe him either, but changes her mind when her brother Nico and his friend Maria fall victim to the shark. Grass and Katharina finally succeed in destroying the shark. When asked why Grass is not happy about it, he says that there would be a kind of backup program in place if Project 819 were to be destroyed: the “Project Haisturm”.
background
Sebastian Mattukat and Floris Asche came up with the idea for Spreeshark in 2013 when Sharknado - Enough said! appeared, which marked the beginning of a very successful film series for the genre. Spreeshark was produced by Brainchild Entertainment. The animation of the robot shark was done by Studio Friendship Berlin. Drop-Out Cinema took the film on for distribution as part of the short film project Cinema Obscure. In some German cinemas, Spreeshark was shown in the opening act for Sharknado 3 .
In November 2018, Tele 5 Spreeshark broadcast between Sharknado 4 and Sharknado 5 as part of "Tele 5 Hai Nights" . With a market share of 1.5 percent in the advertising-relevant target group, the short film achieved a better audience rating than the Asylum productions.
