| English biography: I was born in Frankfurt am Main, since 1992 a freelancer writer and director. My work as an author, director and film producer is defined by the motto: "Pictures indicate the silence between words." With this in mind, I strive for imagery committed to people and aesthetics for my documentary projects, for which I am happy to use artistic means to make them metaphorically deeper. |
