Current mission:

Moving to BERLIN

About:

My dedication has chosen cinema, so I decided to study film theory with philosophy as a minor in Mainz, Germany and make movies whenever I can. So, yeah, I'm an independent film maker, editor and film scholar.

I'm in a constant search for inspiration, moments of awe, knowledge - and luckily, this planet is a good place to find it. I find it in a good conversation, new places and new people, on bored-panda.com and in my Youtube suggestion list, in arts, in a museum, in a good book, in food, ...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really want to get to know the places I travel to. Best way is to get to know the people who live there

Interests

Currently: Watching BBC nature documentaries on Netflix and NBA Highlights in YT

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite Film among many others: Chungking Express. I like movies that make you dive in the living environment of their characters and Wong Kar Wai does it with such an affinity for details, emotion, movement, music, that it makes me shiver even while writing these words and thinking about it.

Other Films: Princess Mononoke, Drive, The Salt of the Earth, There Will Be Blood, Apocalypse Now, Kikujiros Summer, La Notte, 8 1/2, Le Samourai, Ikiru, The New World, Annie Hall, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Ace Ventura, JFK, For A Few Dollars More, Dog Day Afternoon, Raise the Red Lantern, Hero, Carlito's Way, Soy Cuba, Pierrot le fou, Grand Budapest Hotel, Hard Boiled, Come and See, Heaven's Gate, Aguirre, Once Upon a Time in the West, McCabe and Mrs Miller, Le Mépris, German Indie Films, ...

Books: 100 years of Solitude, The Corrections, Dead Souls, Post Office, The Catcher in the Rye, Steppenwolf, basically Everything by Stefan Zweig, Michel Houellebecq, Terry Pratchett, Friedrich Dürrenmatt

Music: Honestly - as long as it's live - eveything! Live music is a kind of magic. At home, I don't listen to music too often. If I do: Wu Tang Clan, U2, Oasis, Käptn Peng, der Täubling, Fauve, The Kooks, Kakkmaddafakka, Alt-J. I prefer political and informational Podcasts to music.
