„What if?“ is the most exciting question I know. The answer leads to different worlds, exciting characters and unique perspectives.

Right after finishing High School in 2014, I applied fo the screenwriting course at the renowned HFF Film School in Munich. While studying, I met producers of the German Industry and pitched to everyone who didn’t turn away from me. Soon I signed my first deals with Munich production firms like Bavaria Film, Wiedemann & Berg and others.

In 2019 I applied for a one-year-screenwriting-program at the NYFA Film School in LA and thanks to a scholarship of the DAAD, I was able to make a dream come true: To spend some time at the heart of the movie industry and improve my own writing skills.

A worldwide plague gave a sudden halt to my stay in Los Angeles and I returned to Germany to finish HFF Film school. During the pandemic I managed to land new deals with Ratpack, Constantin Film and others, while also participating in a writer’s room for the German TV Show called „Frau Jordan“.

Right now (2024) I am writing two screenplays for ConstantinFilm, both of which are comedies and meant for the big screen.
