CURRENT MISSION

chasing a flying piece of plastic

ABOUT ME

I´m doing films since roughly 14 years and I study English and German as a foreign language. I like playing different kinds of frisbee (Freestyle, Ultimate, etc) and almost any kind of games, except Trivial Pursuit perhaps. I tremendously enjoy reading, especially British literature (which luckily enough I happen to study) from former colonies. I wouldn´t say that I´m particularly keen on fantasy literature but for some reason I read a lot of that, too.

PHILOSOPHY

Richard Rorty

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well, I couchsurfed a lot before I heard of this site because I could not find a central, cheap and nice flat in the town in which I study. Fortunately I was raised in a small town only 20 km away so I have a lot of friends here whose couches I quite regularly frequented :-D. Meanwhile I do have a very nice flat in the center of Bielefeld so feel free to contact me. I´m not very hard to satisfy, if you have a roof and a blanket, I´m fine.

Interests

Frisbee, Theater (actually I like doing it far better than looking at other people doing it), films (same here), scriptwriting, filming, editing.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
The Postal Service & Death cab, MGMT, Weakerthans, Beastie Boys, The Shins, Deichkind, most of the time I perceive music just as background music to the situation to be honest.

Films (and series):
Fight Club, Me & You & And Everyone We Know, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Stardust, Unagi Sensei & Life without Harold (both on youtube), Lost, Twin Peaks, Californication.

Books:
Midnight´s Chlidren; Narziss & Goldmund; Oscar & Lucinda; The God Delusion; The Unconsoled; Kafka on the beach; most of the time just the read at the moment. Of course I have favourite ones but even that changes a lot.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rode a roller for the first time in my life with my best friend sitting behind me down some winding djungle roads during sunset and we arrived at the sea.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to film and edit films with Adobe Premiere (or any other program) as well as freestyle frisbee and to generate meaning in your life without religion. Also, I´m quite good on Mario Kart for the SNES.

I´d like to learn more about After Effects.
