After 10 years of directing, writing, editing and creating artistic movies, I am now ready to enter the commercial media world. I'm developing a TV drama 18x35min. 


I started working with film in 2012. 


Film for me is a way of living


Now, I hope to find people who are passionate about film to collaborate with.


A good movie is healing and helping the audience. Movies are empathy giving.


Being friendly and enjoying collaboration with like minded people is a good start if you are interested to collaborate with me.

I heard this recently on a podcast, 


'Nobody gets tired of the old-becoming-new story,

the redemption story, the complete change of somebody, going through that process of transformation. 

We hunger for it. To see those represented.'


Acting is a way of therapy


I learn from masters of cinema like Bergman, Tarkovsky, Resnais and Antonioni and I hope to be a bridge between these masters and more commercial stories.


A bridge of intellectual and artistic beauty on & commercial values. 


Learning from classics is how you learn to produce the timeless quality. 

A MOVIE FOR THE POOR:

'NAKED SKIN, NAKED SKY'

(Trailer) My poetic feature film debut Naked Skin, Naked Sky was close to getting into the Berlinale film festival but was picked away in the final days of selection.

'Film is a way of surviving'

INFO

Marion Horney (Younger Alia)

ALIA: THE CHARACTER


Alia has a genuine belief in being kind to other people. Because of a wounded soul she is afraid to let people come near. Alia is close to both tears and joy.


Alia leaves behind a love. She leaves the city, a life, and the person she has been. As if she was a little child she learns to walk through life again by following her intuition. After past adversities in life Alia's heart has grown larger, making her more sensitive and weak but also more loving, kind and strong in her  belief to follow a new calling in life.
