In 2011 when I got engaged as Creative Director for www.spykeheels.com as an artSpion „Miss J.“ making interviews with artists in Berlin
I had to do everything: filming, interview, editing, uploading and finding new interesting themes!
3. What kinds of topics have your films?
now: about life, love, death – what u can learn out of it!
My last film „Rued1971“ was about a crazy old scientist inventing a time machine to get his beloved Mathilda back!

4. How do you develop your films, do you follow certain principles, styles etc?
there are no rules! I come from painting – so I want to set a message into beautiful images- something the spectator can learn out of it!
5. Tell me something about the technical equipment you use.
I use equipment I can have from the Filmakademie Baden Württemberg. Depending on the project we can order what we need!
6. These days digital technology is dominating also video as a medium. In which way
the digital aspect is entering the creation of your videos, technologically and/or
conceptually?
It is super amazing to have unlimited possibilities creating videos with just normal things anybody can afford like mobile phones, tablet,… and then there are app to edit them roughly. I just love this!
7. How do you finance your films?
I am student of the Filmakademie Baden Württemberg- I do my projects with low budget there.
8. Do you work individually as a video artist/film maker or do you work in a team?
Mostly I want to be director and work in a small team at the Filmakademie
if you have experience in both, what is the difference, what do you prefer?
I like it with a small team and just main positions (producer, DoP, Gaffer,…) done not by me
9. Who or what has a lasting influence on your film/video making?
The courses at the Filmakademie, my colleagues there and travelling- I love traveling!
10. What are your future plans or dreams as a film/video maker?
I want to work as a generalist and director. Sending my short films to film festivals. I also like working on concepts, commercials. Beside I do expositions of my painting works (analog and digital) for a Gallery.
So this is my main target to keep that balance: FINE ART Expositions and making films
