with Merlin Flügel and Maike Mia Höhne right after the premiere of “ECHO”

As his sound designer I was the lucky one to join Merlin Flügel who was invitated to present his film “ECHO” in the Shorts programme of the 63rd annual Berlin International Film Festival in Berlin last week. The film was one of 27 shorts from 20 countries, and had it’s world premiere at the festival.
It was nice to hear the sound of the film in the big Cinemaxx theatre with the 5.1 surround mix we had done for this specific occasion, and of course especially in front of such a big audience.
We definitely had a fantastic time in Berlin, with lots of nice people from all over the world, very good partys, and of course all this great shorts and feature films. I wonder when I will have acces to such a good allotment of screening tickets again.

My shortfilm MAISON SONORE was in the official programm of Graduation Films at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival 2012! It’s one of the most important and biggest festivals of animated films in the world, so I had a good reason to be excited.
In addition my film is presented on the sixth edition of the DVD »New German Animations« released by AG Kurzfilm in coorporation with German Films. It’s a preview DVD for festivals, curators and buyers and produced on the occasion of the Annecy festival. Also another animated shortfilm which I was involved in made it on that DVD: “How to Disappear” by Merlin Flügel. I made the sound design for that one.

Opener for film night in Offenbach am Main


Marc Rühl, Thomas Kneffel  and I made an opener for a public film night (open house at the Offenbach University of Art and Design) were we use to present our newest films every year. We decided to let our professor Rotraut Pape play the main role, baking a cake for the guests together with Bernd Zimmermann, our technical director. The scene plays on our campus in Offenbach, exactly where the film night would take place. It might be that you won’t understand all the jokes, but in the end that doesn’t matter.
