About

I am an Austrian-American writer and filmmaker living in Los Angeles. I grew up and studied in Michigan before moving to Dortmund, Germany on a Fulbright Scholarship.

Afterwards I moved to Berlin and worked for a variety of film production companies as well as the Wolfgang Pfeiffer Screenwriting School, where I wrote my first feature-length screenplay, “Old Money,” which was a finalist for the 2010 Sundance Screenwriters Lab.

I recently moved to Los Angeles, where I am in the MFA Directing/Production Program at UCLA. My first short film completed at UCLA, “The Swimming Lesson” is currently awaiting acceptance at a number of festivals. My second feature script, “The Best Party Ever,” is being submitted to various screenwriting competitions.

I blog about filmmaking, short films, and my experiences at UCLA film school.

I answer questions about film school, Los Angeles and film. Please be aware that your questions may show up on my site. Ask away at:
