Start of filming for TV fairy tale

On April 27th 2021, I shot my first take for the classic fairy tale ZITTERINCHEN. The story by Bechstein was adapted by Anja Kömmerling and Thomas Brinx in an enchanting screenplay. I am happy to direct the feature film about the little dog who trembles, the two peasant girls, the nerdy prince and the baroness and her daughter. Producer is Ingelore König from Kinderfilm GmbH. Anke Lindemann (MDR), Sabine Scheuring (MDR), Patricia Vasapollo (HR) and Michaela Herold (Radio Bremen) are responsible for editorial office. The fairy tale is part of the series “6 in one go”.
