Being born in Germany and then being moved to Switzerland he survived that minor ‘culture clash’ following his parents’ work migration. He attended the universities of Zurich and Amsterdam and holds a master degree in Film Studies and German Literature. He has a background in theatre and made his way into movies with the feature film DEAD FUCKING LAST, a dramatic comedy about bike messengers, capitalism and friendship which was rated “rad yet racy” by the Neue Zürcher Zeitung.

He is based in Zurich and Berlin and is represented by Verlag der Autoren, Frankfurt/Main. He works as a writer and consultant for cinema, series and theatre – both in fictional and documentary formats.
