Enjoy a glimpse into Anya’s story of vengeance with Bonus Episode Aces High !
Echoes of Liberation is a bold, cinematic adaptation of the Wolfenstein universe, telling untold stories from the brutal war against the Nazi regime. This anthology digital series dives deep into the emotional and physical toll of resistance—through the eyes of B.J. Blazkowicz and those who fight beside him.
Each 10–15 minute episode (or “Level”) stands alone, with distinct tone, genre, and visual style—from gritty noir to psychological horror to Western—all while contributing to a larger narrative centered around the Reich’s newest nightmare: Projekt Blutdurst.
We blend action, heart, and style as beloved characters like B.J., Anya, and Fergus confront personal demons just as intense as the enemies they battle.
Our non-linear approach also opens the door for one-off appearances by established talent, vivid world-building, and creative experimentation.
Enjoy the first episode, Legacy of Defiance here !
Anya Oliwa-Blazkowicz is known as a loving mother, wife, and leader, yet she harbors a dark past, one shrouded in blood and mystery. When her memories come alive once more, Anya must travel to Argentina to tie one final loose end.
Following the events of Aces High, Anya must come face to face with an old nemesis, Otto Friedrich, a high ranking Nazi officer connected to the mysterious Projekt Blutdurst, and to her past.
Utilizing her her skills, old and new, Anya ventures to South America in pursue of Otto's track, who has long dissapeared since the death of Irene Engel and the fall of the Empire.
Presenting her in a new light, Fear of the Dark aims to give the audience a new side of the beloved franchise character, while giving new fans a taste of what to expect from her next.
Anya Oliwa-Blazkowicz, unrivaled assassin, loving wife and mother. For a majority of her life, Anya played it quiet, tame and always quick to listen to her parents. When the Nazi occupation of Europe began, she did her best to keep low and safe, but patience has a limit.
Upon seeing the pain and destruction the Nazi's brought, she took action from the shadows. Assasinating Nazis through deceit, seduction and even lenghts she would rather not recall. Anya would become a legend to the locals and a nightmare to the Nazis.
But there was one man she could never catch, Otto Friedrich, and she will do everything she can to right that wrong.

Cruel, calculating, and soft-spoken.
A master manipulator, Otto Friedrich never cared for the Nazi hierarchy, preferring to bury himself in his genetics work. The architect of Project Blutdurst, he sees himself as the visionary who will usher in a new era of domination. Gentle, methodical, and always three steps ahead, Otto is never crass or loud, because he never needs to be.
Portrayed by Ty Johnson , an up and coming actor with past roles in Hulu's Betrayal and Netflix's Stranger Things and Beef.
Tyler Ronald Johnson has a background in theater, guitar, piano, and singing. His film debut was in Andres Ilarraza's 'Scott's Insomnia' (2024) where he played Alan, Scott's younger brother.

Our visual style is somber, tense, and cinematic, emphasizing performers’ emotions and performances. The pacing is dynamic, action pack yet methodical. We aim to keep each chapter between 10 to 15 minutes to captivate viewers and leave them wanting more.
Spanning genres like horror, noir, and western, each chapter adapts to our alternate-reality setting, blending retrofuturism with 60s and 70s influences. Holograms, laser guns, analog tech, and vintage weaponry ground this alternate reality of a Nazi dominated world, while the core focus remains on character-driven storytelling.

Our initial crowdfunding goal of $7,000 is set to cover the foundational needs of the project.
However, an increased target of $9,000 - $10,000 would enable us to elevate production quality, allow us to secure higher-caliber equipment, increase crew support, choregraph more clompicated stunts, create more elaborate make-up and special effects, as well as cover extra costs that may arise with production.
Below is a breakdown of critical expenses:
PRODUCTION COSTS:
- Production Insurance: Required for equipment rentals, workers’ compensation, and cast and crew safety.
- Catering: Meals for cast and crew on 12-hour shoot days.
- Production Supplies: Hard drives, walkie-talkies, and other essential tools.
- Location Rental Fees.
- Camera, Grip, and Electric Equipment

POST-PRODUCTION COSTS:
- Editing
- Sound Design
- Color Correction
- Music and Score
- Licensing Fees
PUBLICITY:
- Promotional Artwork: Posters and other visuals.
- Marketing and advertising campaigns.
Reaching our base goal of $7,000 will allow us to cover essentials, but we may need to rely on industry favors to lower certain expenses, such as location and equipment rentals, and could face a reduced contingency against any unforeseeable costs, or loss and damages.
Regardless of the final amount raised, we’re committed to bringing this episode to life with resourcefulness and dedication!
