Film might be the most collaborative art form there is. That’s why I love it so much.
I feel deeply blessed working with so many great artists on a project, going on this journey together, and finding the right answers to all the challenges along the way.
I love giving ideas form, and composing images that touch my heart. I’m constantly looking for new stories with strong characters, and, of course, new collaborators who are passionate about bringing these stories to life…

(Music Video 2020)
“Schäm Dich is a highly polemic portrayal of individuals who feel that the current climate criticism and figures like Greta Thunberg are taking something away from them. It revolves around people who find the hype exaggerated, do not feel affected, and believe they can't do anything as individuals to address the issue.” (Conny)
