C O M M E R C I A L

Before directing, I spent two and a half years at Jung von Matt in Hamburg, managing global campaigns for BMW Group, Montblanc International, Kia Motors Europe, and Ligne Roset. I oversaw up to seven simultaneous international campaign projects across strategy, creative and production and acted as a consulting voice on Asian cultures within the agency.

LABSAL28 min, fiction


Adam's ideal of Eden shapes it to become increasingly exclusive and violent. Eve’s search for another paradise leads her to Lilith, Adams first wife, and, to a fruit.
Director’s comment:

The tale of Adam and Eve is one of the oldest, most widely spread stories. That's why to me, it presents an intriguing opportunity to explore subconsciously internalized ideas of the world. I believe fluidity to be the key to create new ways of living outside of old patterns - ways of living that allow for an open mind, led by the freedom to feel. At the core I am guided by the question: What is our time’s meaning of love?



FANTASY OF LOVE20 min, fiction


Emma is the adopted child to German parents and all seems well until she introduces her Turkish boyfriend to them. Her parents claim that he doesn’t exist and send her to an institution, where unwanted partners get “removed”.
Director’s comment:
What happens when two realities clash and one claims dominance over the other? This film blurs the line between reality, imagination, truth and lie.


(k)ein Other.15 min, fiction


In Korea, a mudang is a woman who serves as an intermediary between humans and the forces of the spiritual world. In order to bring balance to a community or a person out of balance, a mudang initiates a shamanic ritual in which spirits, ancestors or gods integrate into her. 

Director’s comment:
Who benefits from a notion of normalcy that places certain people inside and certain peopl outside of it? With this film, I explore what it means to stay true to a voice that, in its full expression, may only be allowed to exist outside of a constructed ‘normal’.


CUNTVIEW10 min, documentary


Even though „cunt“ is often used as one of the most offensive words in today's English, its origin suggests a positive meaning with interpretations encompassing notions of "godly" or "holy". The film provides very intimate insights into the stories and emotions of three protagonists, as it follows them on the journey of a vulva self-portrayal.
Director’s comment:
I focus on the shift of female bodies from the observed to the observer. The purpose is to honor self-chosen perspectives, taking power over how to be seen. This film makes space for individual exploration and cherishes exchange. In all its beauty, nothing tops the pure, uncensored existence.


HUMAN 10A 6 6 5X20 min, fiction


One room, two strangers and a world in which one has to pay for interhuman encounters. Human 10A 6 6 5X wants to experience what another human being can trigger within her.
Director’s comment:
We wanted to explore a scenario where humans have turned into resources for data. What, then, happens to the social aspects of being human?


COPPA FANTASÌA28 min, fiction


Alex quit her music to look after her sick sister and is accompanied by an imagined musician, who will play all the emotions Alex won’t allow herself to feel until she screams at him to go away.
Director’s comment:
Through Alex, I wanted to portray a woman who gradually casts aside her own needs and desires in the name of love. It is an exploration of how to tell and show the inner sensations of a person.

“Greyish scales
ecstatic moments of release
melancholic horizon
above sea water
let me sing a song for you
maybe later.”
