Hochbetrieb (Nuts & Bolts) from 2003 is a silent slapstick shortfilm of six minutes length written and directed by Andreas Krein. It received a Menzione Speciale (Special Mention) at the Venice Film Festival - "For having paid a tribute to Harold Lloyd
, who shall not be forgotten, by means of modern technology". Set on top of a highrise construction site in the 1930s the film depicts a foreman, his apprentice and their antics on the hunt for a frog and stolen food.

In 2001 the film was shot entirely in front of bluescreen. Principal photography was followed by two years of post production to create the construction site and city environment (the latter generated procedurally in part). After its release Hochbetrieb was invited to over 100 film festivals worldwide, including TriBeCa Film Festival and the Berlinale Kinderfilmfest. It won the German Federal Film Board's shortfilm award Short Tiger and the Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau Shortfilm Award. In 2004 it received theatrical release as part of a feature length shortfilm compilation.
