WRITER & DIRECTOR
Member of ASIFA Germany | AG Animationsfilm
As a kid, I always wanted to make movies, to tell stories that connect, surprise, and touch people. At age 16, I wrote and directed my first short films and music videos. And yet, my creative journey has been far from traditional.
I never went to film school, nor did I become a writer, not in a traditional way. Instead, I went to acting school, got a diploma in film and theatre, worked in Europe and the US.
Over the last twenty years, I became an actor, a photographer, and worked during the last decade for various marketing agencies and media networks as a camera operator, an editor, a creative producer, and at some point ended up founding and co-leading a production company within a marketing agency.
With roots in Germany, Perù and Scotland, I grew up as a late 80's child in the West-German countryside, travelling a lot, learning even more.
I lived and worked in Washington D.C., Berlin, Los Angeles, and am currently based in Hamburg.
I am always looking for collaborators, but mostly for good human beings. My heart beats for good storytelling and animation.
And dolce vita.
