It all started in a small indie cinema, where, as a teenager,
I wasn’t just obsessively watching the best independent films –
I started working as a film projectionist, on an old 35mm film projector.

That’s where I fell in love with the magic of cinema and realized that film isn’t just about images;
it’s about emotion, sound, light, and the art of storytelling.

Wanting to explore this world even further, Icompleted film directing studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in
Hamburg under the guidance of Rüdiger Neuman, Gerd Roscher and Wim Wenders.

Since 2010, I’ve been working as a director and DOP, sometimes also as a creative producer.
My portfolio includes several short films, music videos,
and high-end commercials for some of the world’s biggest brands, including
Lidl, McDonald’s, eBay, Edeka, Lisk, VIFON, TaoTao, Coca Cola, L’Oréal, Vodafone, Telekom,
ZDF, TUI, Aida Cruises, DERTOUR, Mitsubishi Electric, Opel, AVIA, ORLEN, Vattenfall and KiK.

Right now, together with Katarzyna Walczak, I have finished writing my debut Feature Film -
ALL OUR GHOSTS. Currently, we're searching for production companies to bring this auteur film project to life.

I have a deep love for photography and vintage lenses that give images soul,
but I’m just as skilled at working with the latest technology to
create visually stunning and emotionally engaging stories.

What drives me is catching life in the moments nobody plans –
two people kissing on a street corner, the chaos of a kitchen before service,
two strangers laughing on a night train somewhere between borders.
I'm obsessed with those magic moments where light, scenery,
and people all collide into something magical.

A sense of place and time is what I'm always chasing –
the feeling that this exact frame could only exist right here, right now.
I approach every project like a personal, intimate relationship.
I need to feel it, understand it, get under its skin.
That's the only way to make something that actually stays with people.
