Born 1984 in Berlin, Germany, he interned with Detlev Buck. Apart from making shorts, he acted on stage, and fronted Rock & Roll bands in Manchester, UK. His stage plays for Alexander zu Schaumburg-Lippe received positive media attention, especially "Queen's Pride" (2012) and "Der Baron Ochs auf Lerchenau" (2014). He is now looking for the best way to fuse film and theater with live music.
