Debut Feature Film
“One must still have chaos in oneself
to be able to give birth to a dancing star.”
– Friedrich Nietzsche
NEVRLAND (2019)
17-year-old Jakob wants nothing more than to feel alive. Uncontrollable anxiety attacks prevent him from doing so and force him to escape into virtual worlds. One night, he meets 26-year-old Kristjan in a cam chat. Their encounter marks the beginning of a transpersonal journey to the wounds of their souls.

Comissioned Work
If I can identify with or support the themes and values, I also do comissioned work such as e.g. social spots or trailers for film festivals. On the left side, you can see the festival trailer for the Transition Queer Minority Film Festival 2015.
Testimonial
If I am convinced of a product or service and use it myself, I am always interested in becoming a testimonial. On the right you can see an interview with me about my queer film collection that I curated for the Austrian video-on-demand platform Flimmit.
