In the beginning of march the annual international skateboard film festival takes place. This year in the capital of germany, berlin and "First Love" is nominated as best documentary and will be shown at the festival!

Something came in the mail today!
It's here. The (very good looking) award for the best film at the Madrid Skate Film Festival. Now I have to think about a place where to hang that neat looking board.
Thanks again I feel very honored.
Up in Smoke Festival
For the second time the up in smoke festival attracted tons of people from all over europe to listen to some heavy music in the Z7, Pratteln. A lot of very high rated rock bands like Fu Manchu, Kadavar or Blues Pills did the honors.
Together with the Dynamic Frame folks we covered the whole festival and produced the recap clip. Enjoy
connect.zone Commercial
This clip was produced for an app called "connect.zone". Valentin Brotbek and I created all the animations and Dynamic Frame did the shooting of the scenes.
Thanks for the job and good luck with the app!

"First Love" wins at the Upcoming Filmmakers Festival
... the jury prize to be precise. Thanks a ton for this great award.
Beforehand the festival I had a little talk with a local radio station 3Fach about the film and the festival itself.

First Love - ein Erklärungsversuch
It's a wrap! "First Love - an attempt of an explanation" is the result of my second bachelor year.
The planing of the film probably took about half a year including the writing of the script. Thanks again to everyone that was involved and made the film even possible!
The film is going to get screened at several festivals before it'll find its way into the web.

DillySocks Commercial
The Zurich sock manufacturer "DillySocks" hit me up to do a short animation for their commercial. When I've heard about the whole concept of the clip I didn't have to think twice. Eventually some naked skin makes a good impression in a portfolio!

... and cut!
It's done! We completed the shoot for my second degree bachelor film. After several slams, countless tries and a nearly broken foot we recorded pretty much all that was planned. Thanks to the boys who gave their everything and the whole crew that supported me! It was truly a blast... even though we were freezing our asses of!

Now I'm gonna lock myself into the editing room, scan the whole footage and make a selection. I'm really excited to get all the different parts together in the editing... let's hope for the best!

Making of 'Ten Years Safari - a place to skate'
The established skate- and design label ‘Safari’ made a movie as a present for their 10 year anniversary. For this we took care of implenting the intro. The shoot took place in a hidden shack which contained a miniramp, somewhere in the swiss mountains. Inside the shack we arranged a small living room which can be seen towards the end of the intro.
Thanks a lot to Patrick Pytell and the boys of the "Screamcat Ramp" for letting us shoot at this awesome location.
