, I attended a rather stage oriented acting education and afterwards took part in workshops with M. K. Lewis (USA) and Mel Churcher (UK) to improve my acting skills in front of the camera.
2005 - Film - Ein und Aus - Friederike von Hegel - Senffilm Produktion This piece is a fave one as it's a student short film which however was shot with highly requirements: The female student who wrote the script and directed the short movie was related to a slightly recommended young bavarian cinematographer - so we shot it during three days in a wellness hotel, surrounded by a beautiful bavarian landscape. They even brought a self made dolly ... So, due to some enthusiasts with no budget and some lent equipment, this is a lovely little piece of student film work.

2007 - Commercial - Was ist das Fundament einer Zeitung? - Andreas Kröneck - Magmell Agentur für Film und Design GbR My first full green screen-production. I was the only character in this corporate film for a german newspaper publishing company which celebrated its 60th anniversary.
I had to imagine all german press history ever since WWII to today - there was nothing but a stage. My highlight: jumping off a wall towards the camera - from 12 metres altitude. At first I was a coward, after a few takes I didn't want to stop ...
2008 - Television - Familie ist was Wunderbares - Hans-Guenther Buecking - Mueller & Seelig A prime time family film, aired in Second German Television (ZDF). My part is a regular customer of a local book store in a small german town - "Frau Schneider". So it was no huge part but anyway funny to work with big german TV names such as Rita Russek, Horst Janson etc.

Leave Her to Heaven(1945, John M. Stahl) Whensoever I watch this kind-of genre hybrid I get something new out of it: Whether it's the kind the cinematographer lets me see the characters or the kind of lightning or costume details or location details or, at last, the acting skills of every single person - this movie is just entertaining. And besides unmasking human nature. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0037865/
