About me

Passionate Film Producer with a strong foundation in Marketing Strategy (8+ years) and hands-on experience in feature film production. Committed to expanding my role in producing outstanding films, I blend creativity, strategic mindset, and administrative expertise to drive both artistic excellence and commercial success.

I am currently developing and producing several international feature films and high-end series, including MADAME LE COMMISSAIRE (DE/FR), BLOOD TIES (DE/CH), and TAKO TSUBO (DE/AT). My responsibilities include script development in close collaboration with writers and directors, securing funding, casting, and creating marketing and distribution strategies for projects targeting international audiences. In addition, I have worked on various short film productions at Hamburg Media School: as Production Manager for THE PERFECT FRAME, and as First Assistant Director (1st AD) for WIE ES WAR, INKUBUS, and the independent student-led production LA PURA VIDA.
