Writer, director, producer
WHO I AM
I am a Berlin-based writer, director, and producer specializing in both fictional and documentary films for cinema and television, with work featured on channels such as ZDF, ARTE, WDR and SWR.
Among my works are the award-winning Die Überflüssigen (The Superfluous), recipient of the Prix Genève Europe Writing Bursary from the European Broadcasting Union, and Die Eroberung der inneren Freiheit (The Conquest of Inner Freedom), which was recognized at DOK Leipzig and nominated for the PRIX EUROPA.
In addition, I am a keynote speaker on scriptwriting and AI, teach scriptwriting at my company, Drehbuchwerkstatt Berlin, and have lectured at renowned universities, including the University of St. Gallen.
MY STRATEGY
I am passionate about business strategy, innovation, personal branding, leadership, networking, community building, and artificial intelligence, and I continually seek ways to integrate these elements into my production company.
I firmly believe the future of filmmaking lies not with large corporations, but with small, agile, and innovative companies grounded in the values of compassion and loving kindness. „Be the change you want to see in the world.“ (Gandhi)
MY VISION
As a meditation practitioner for more than 20 years, my vision and mission is to weave meditation, spiritual practices, and consciousness exploration into my films.
I did this in my last documentary „Der lautlose Tanz des Lebens“ (The Silent Dance of Life) about groundbreaking Buddhist teacher Ruth Denison, as well as in my current project about „The Power of Blessing & Loving Kindness.“

Born on December 21, 1971, in Katowice (Poland), living in Berlin since 1981 – I have always considered this international perspective on life to be a great enrichment.
