Let me begin with a little story.

One of the first things I learned when I made my first baby steps into the beautiful craziness we call the film industry is that you always need to shoot from different angles. How convenient that I bring at least three different angles to every story, text, film, and idea I work on naturally.

First, as a psychologist. Because what is more remarkable, daring, and exciting than trying to understand humans? To understand why we do what we do? Why do we diet and never stick with it? Or why, after growing up, do we want to be a child again? Why do we feel what we feel? And what makes our species so wonderful and exciting? Well, I'm still trying to figure that out, which is part of the fun.

Secondly, I'm a writer. How wonderful because everything begins with words. And I love words. Every story has at least A to Z in it. All of us like to use words. In love letters, text messages, treaties, and contracts in books and poems. Luckily I get to work with words and move people with it. It's magic.

Last but not least, I'm a Director. Because as much as I love words, images get stuck in people's minds. Humans are visual beings. So I want to make memorable stories by adding great and emotional images, unseen angles, and sound to wonderful words. For others to look at, enjoy, feel, see, and hear – to get in touch with themselves and the world.

And if you want to do that with me, don't hesitate to send me a word. "Hello" sounds like a good start.

For all of you, who appreciate the formal things in life. This is my CV
