I have been enthusiastic about films since I was 6 years old. Inventing fantastic stories with quirky characters has always fascinated me. My imagination finds no limits. I work on my stories with great enthusiasm and commitment. Each project is unique, exciting and like a part of myself.
I love to work in teams and am highly devoted to ensuring every film is a piece of true art, visually striking, and emotionally resonant. Let’s work together to create a film that captivates audiences and stands out in the industry.
I am open to accompanying projects as a screenwriter or/and as a director. I already have in-depth experience in both areas and describe myself as a well-versed and experienced screenwriter and director.
I can offer a seamless transition from script to screen, ensuring your story is compelling and visually captivating but also enjoy to work with passionate directors, who want to bring my scripts to life.

I’ve been acting since I was 14 years old. The frist steps I did on the school stage and in the theater, but soon I found myself on big film sets. My way of performing is very intuitive and I have refined and expanded my self-developed technique at schools such as the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. I train continuously with private coaches and, above all, prepare difficult roles together with a coach. These include Susi Stach (Vienna), Jens Roth (Berlin), Jean-Louis Rodrigue (Los Angeles) and Bernard Hiller (Los Angeles). Films and TV shows I have acted in can be found on my IMDb page.
