Director, writer
After a musical education, some published poems and various odd jobs I studied 4 years at the self-organized Berlin film school «filmArche». There I wrote several short films, developed, co-produced and wrote for the webseries «7Liars» (Action-Thriller Episode: «Many Happy Returns») and freelanced on a true-crime series and a horror anthology film in collaboration with Dirk Eggers and Andreas Marschall («Das Böse» and «Berlin Horror Stories»). I recently finished shooting my graduation film «Ambrosia»: A bloody horror film, for which I was also a writer, producer and costume designer.
My stories tell of harsh realities, dreams and fears - of horror, comedy and post-migrant trauma. All with a splash of 60s kitsch.
In addition to my films, I am also active as a musician, singer and photographer. I write short stories and poetry and am currently working on a drama series about a turkish 'guest worker'-family in the 70's as well as my next horror short film «Cheat Day».
