Together with Advertising Agency Die Vision I realized two Video Banner Ads for a Health Insurance Company.
While they did the concept and postproduction I was responsible for Production and Direction on the shooting.
The Ad was released on big portal sited like AOL or Finanzscout.
I was invited to the OFFF Festival for Post Digital Creation Culture 2006 in Barcelona, Spain, to show my short Film Palindrome in their 6th annual Competition. OFFF is an amzing festival with loads of great speakers, a very nice venue (in a very nice city) and a great atmosphere. This year it was also hold in Ney York and in 2008 the festival is moving to Lisboa.
Thanks to Fred for hosting me and to Sergi for taking care while the festival.

The shortfilm Palindrome explores the medium film by discovering the everyday activity of the breakfest. The Shots are running back and forth, leading to a somehow surreal composition. The film is questioning the reception of film stereotypes. What does happen, when a rather boring activity like a breakfest becomes visualized as pure aesthetics?
“A young woman enters the kitchen to eat breakfast. Strange things happen, but she pays no attention. Palindrome - a short film about the meal we pay least attention to.”

My short film Cave of Memories was chosen for the Berlinale Talent Campus 2005.
The Campus is a workshop for 500 aspiring filmmakers from all over the world, which takes place during the Berlinale International Film Festival in Berlin. The Campus was an amazing experience, 5 days of talks, discussions and screenings. Moreover, it’s is an extraordinary oppurtunity to meet other filmmakers and get in touch with the industry.
My foot on the red carpet :-)
