His screenplays stem from an interest in intercultural experiences and the subtle dynamics between humans and non-humans.

Der Nebel macht sie wütend
The location: Unicampus Bockenheim, Frankfurt. The condition: Abandoned and decaying. Once a place of art, music and maths. The student centre: a meeting place for the alternative scene. Anyone browsing through empty corridors full of graffiti and dark rooms today might wonder: is this place haunted? Campus Geister, a collective project of the Theatre, Film and Media Studies degree programme, investigates this question. The "Campus Ghosts" project is a collective work by Goethe University students studying different subjects and programmes at the TFM Institute. The idea for the film was developed as part of the seminar "Das hat Format" led by Gunter Deller in the winter semester 2023/24.
