I have enjoyed the feeling of holding a camera since I was a child. I had immense joy when I was creating stop-motion Lego videos or a thriller with my friends in the staircase. With fascination, I observed how single takes transformed into a story. I started out in front of the camera, but over time I noticed that I had much more fun behind it. It was at this early stage my dedication for directing developed. 

I love this craft because when I'm doing it I get fully absorbed into the process. I relish translating stories into vital pictures; therefor collaborating with many other creatives. If I am excited about something, everything falls into place: I type scripts, essays, and considerations for the particular departments; I draw storyboards and I experiment. I immerse fully into a project, up until the moment it is done. 

Besides my occupation as a director, I write and draw; play the piano, spinet, and organ. Because my everyday life includes (to a large extent) contemplating, I study philosophy at the University Potsdam as well and wonder through the world of considerations and theories. I love the creative process and usually get inspired by my life experiences. It can be a piece of dialogue, I encounter by chance, or something that happens to me personally. If I write, I appear in a world beyond words; I'm just on the spot, taking notes.
