about

I am a film director and writer, educated in Vienna and Los Angeles with focus on leading the actors and dramaturgy. Since 2001 I have been working as an independent writer, director and film producer in Austria. In the last years my team and I shot numerous short films and documentaries as well as commerical videos on behalf of clients. Several of our short fiction films have been nominated and awarded by internationally acclaimed festivals. In 2009 we founded the association Dead Seabird Film to focus on satirical film.
