On November 13th my film A LAST HURRAH was awarded with the Silver Award for Best Medium-Length Film at the Independent Star Filmfest Munich! This year, due to the pandemic, the festival was unfortunately only available as an online version. But the selection and award is of course a great honor! This just shows once more that it is always worthwhile to independently continue to go for your own films and ideas. The story about the Brandt family, the death of the mother and their Christmas together reaches more and more viewers and in this case also the jury. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

The press release of my upcoming fairy tales on ARD has been released. You have to be patient for my film ZITTERINCHEN for one more Christmas, though. Nonetheless, you can find first infos about the film here. Because anticipation is the best joy.
It’s the 18th century. Alma, 20, and her sister Christine, 18, live in their little house on the edge of a village and provide for themselves. While the beautiful Christine jumps confidently and wildly through life, never wears shoes and is not afraid of anything, her sister Alma is more deliberate, downright shy and not nearly as self-confident. She is of somewhat sturdier build and indulges in her great hobby: painting. She has an extraordinary talent as a painter and her sister predicts a great future for her. After some hesitation, Alma takes part in a painting competition at the castle and is hired at the court of Prince Philip, 25, as a painter for his botanical almanac. Philip lives only for his plants, for science, and is modest and a little spunky. Noblewomen, who want to marry him, can’t get their hands on him. Instead, he gets along blindly with Alma, without realizing that she would be just right for him. Instead, he falls for Christine after seeing a picture of her with Alma. A love story unfolds, in which the evil baroness and her daughter play a decisive role, Christine almost dies, and a nymph and the little dog called Zitterinchen get involved. In the end all is well and if they have not died, then they are still alive today.
This year I am finally in Biberach. My film A LAST HURRAH is running in competition at the 43rd Biberach Film Festival. On Wednesday, 3rd November, at 16:00 and Thursday, 4th November, 13:15 I will present the film together with the main actor and co-producer, André Lewski.

After a great musical phase with composer David Scheler and sound design by Charlotte Lewis, we went into mixing our ARD fairy tale ZITTERINCHEN last week. It was really great to work in an exclusively female team (!!) in the Mixing studio for once. Thanks to mixing engineer Sabine Maier and Charlotte Lewis from CineImpuls. Looking forward to the TV premiere!

A LAST HURRAH will run from September 30th to October 4th, 2021 in the official selection of the Houston QFest. So once again, one of my films has made it across the Atlantic before me. This year, due to pandemic, the LGBTQ film festival will also take place online. So my film, among many other exciting works, can be streamed online worldwide via the cinenso platform!
