Being «just» one thing never was a real option for me. I simply
wonder too much and therefore find fulfillment in various fields of activity.
So I turned my things into my biggest asset: Broadness.
Today I combine political and social work with filmmaking,
editorial and business. Promoting all of it together is my goal.
Well, let me make your things into my thing...

POLITICS
It's crazy times we're living in. My believe is that we should build bridges, not borders. Next to film, communication and media, I'm devoted in projects which bring heavy opponents together, no matter what.
