A few words about your favorite work, if you have one?
When it comes to moviemaking it´s research and cinematography.
Your main source of inspiration?
Talking to friends and everything else that provokes thought.
What do you find most fascinating about the creative process?
It`s a bit like a treasure hunt. You have to pass though unknown territories, try out new combinations of thought and really open your mind and senses to get there. But you always know that you are going to get there eventually, you just don’t know how long it will take. Sometimes, this process takes only 2 seconds, sometimes years. What fascinates me is the the art of thinking with a certain randomness. Playing with thoughts. Is almost childlike. There is a great quote from a film called „my playground“. It goes: „People say you stop playing when you grow up, I say you grow up because you stop playing.“ Its much the same with creativity.
Any new project coming up, you want to tell us about?
A film we just shot called „Great“. Its a true story about a brave Serbian projectionist who screened Charley Chaplin´s „The Great Dictator“ in a German Soldiers Cinema in 1942. We are telling his own personal story of resistance to the Nazi occupation. It´s currently in post production.
Your city’s favourite spots?
This might sound strange but I think its actually our office. Other spots I like are for instance the „Bonfini“ at Causseestraße, Bar 3, Wilde Renate…
