I don't consider myself a photographer. Still, I like taking pictures sometimes. And when asked spontaneously by friends ten minutes before their gig starts... why the hell not? Right?!
Bachelorfilm "frei von allem"
Our graduation film "frei von allem" (engl. a free life) is finished and marks the end of our film bachelor degree at the HSLU Luzern. The film is going to be shown for a week at the "werkschau luzern" along with all the other films by our classmates. So be sure to come by and have a look. Thanks to everyone that helped us realise the project. We were very lucky to have received such huge amount of support and help from a vast number of people.

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!
