Write a one-sentence teaser text for your film ALPHA-BOY.
17-year old Matthias seems to find the solution to all his problems: Pick-Up Artists.
Which film was the first to deeply impress you?
Not sure... As a kid "Harry Potter", as a youngster "eXistenZ" and "Funny Games".
A new TV series about studying film needs a title – which would you choose?
„Hope & Damnation“
Scene from ALPHA-BOY
If your film was an animal, what animal would it be?
Probably a small blue peacock
What do your grandparents think you do as a job?
I actually think they would understand the concept of filmmaking if they were alive, as they were always interested in what I do.
What would you be if you weren’t a filmmaker?
I would follow my second passion – music! – and study conducting.
Is this your first visit to Munich? What do you expect from the city and the festival?
I’ve been living in Munich since 2015 and I plan on doing so for a long long time. :)
