RESUMEE

I work as a cinematographer and screenwriter, based in Vienna, Austria. My work has been screened at Berlinale, Cannes, Sundance and Tribeca. I hold an MA degree from the renowned Film Academy Vienna (Professor DOP Wolfgang Thaler). I collaborate closely with directors to find the right visual language for each story, always searching for moments and characters that leave a lasting impression, visually and emotionally. I am drawn to sociopolitical narratives and character driven work.
