Great ideas come to you when you're out on a casual stroll in a great location... a year later and Am Zaun is in the June semifinals of Phoenix Shorts! Big thanks to the cast, crew, and festival team ❤️

Looks like I can cross "Get a film into #Cannes" off my bucket list! I'm beyond grateful for this milestone, thank you to the 8&Halfilm Awards for selecting Le Hameau des Valises (The Hamlet of Suitcases) for Best Drama in the 9th Edition of their Cannes programme!


The #soundtrack for our #debut feature, "World 42", is really shaping up! We're nearly done with colour grading, sound, and music and I'm so excited to see this project completed in #postproduction!


It's always nice when an earlier film in your career gets a little love :') Huge thanks to the London-based Festival of Arts & Cinema team for officially selecting "Le Hameau des Valises"!

This lovely certificate came through for Am Zaun placing as a #Finalist for Best Experimental #Film at the Bright International Film Festival, at around about the same time we found out we won the title at @EdiplayF! Huge thanks go to both festival teams, and the cast & crew!

Credit to Anna Liepelt for snapping the Am Zaun cast & crew at the 29th #Regensburg #Kurzfilmwoche. The bilingual #QandA sessions after each screening were a lot of fun!

Huge thanks the Golden Nugget International Film Festival for nominating "Am Zaun" as Best Art/Experimental Short Film in the new festival edition! We're very excited to hear the results at the end of the month, and it's a pleasure to be part of the festival again this year!

Had a lot of fun designing a gritty indie Euro-horror poster for Am Zaun (when your combined cast/crew is only four, there seems little point in a billing block!) #indiefilm #horror #european

New #trailer for the surreal #experimental #horror, "Am Zaun"! (I may have taken some dreamlike cues from David Lynch for this one...) youtu.be/omNuJP0Kdyo


Huge thanks to the Hollywood Blood Horror Festival for awarding "Am Zaun" the title of Best Short Mystery! And special shout-out and thanks to our Kamerafrau, Anna Liepelt, on today of International Women's Day!

Whew, think my brain has just about caught up from the Christmas break! The New Year's Eve #mystery party was just too much fun, so I simply had to rustle up a quick little #poster for it with everyone in costume! Thanks everyone involved for a great memorable night! #NYE #2023
