"First Love" will be shown at the 6th international FICTS festival in Barcelona. The festival is held in the centre of the city from may 5th to 9th 2015. I'm really hyped that the film is going to get screened in such an important city for skateboarding worldwide. Hopefully a lot of people find their way to the festival and have a good time.

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

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.

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!
