About me

My main occupation is directing and producing documentaries and working as artist. In 2016 I rediscovered my passion for acting and got myself trained at the Berlin Acting Studio. Already in my youth I dit it a lot not at least at backstage at Hamburger Schauspielhaus. Since I have had minor roles in film and tv and would very much like to continue and take on a lead role once if possible.
