be serious
Born in Berlin, I developed my love for filmmaking while growing up in Paris with my family working in theater. I moved to Vienna, where I graduated with an MFA in film directing from the Filmakademie Wien, where Michael Haneke taught.
 
As a director, it is important to me to understand the process on both sides of the lens. My work as an actor taught me many lessons, most notably in my role as the narrator Dieter Albrecht with the closing words in Martin Scorsese’s Silence.

I moved to New York City in 2018 where I worked behind the camera and delved into both documentary & narrative filmmaking.

Most recently, I directed a feature film: The Obelisk, after successfully producing a commissioned short called The Dutchman’s Pipe. Currently I’m in pre-production for my next full-length film, The Box, an adaptation of a theater play.

My personal interest is in the juxtaposition of opposing forces, a fundamental element in my stories, and humour–we can laugh about everything but not with everyone.
