Because I can give you more ideas…

With over 20 years’ of journalistic experience spanning music, radio, TV and film, storytelling is my forte. Having started out as a freelance writer and TV presenter, for shows such as Austria’s 60-minute music show Clipcorner and the culture/trends show Babylon shot on location in Los Angeles, I am first and foremost a bilingual journalist specializing as a producer/director for TV and documentaries.

My love of long format narrative began while working on documentaries on women’s rights and an in-depth look at Kurt Schuschnigg with my father, when I was 16. I have also written editorials, interviews and cover stories for newspapers and magazines all over the world. For a long time, I specialized in in-depth interviews with challenging people.

I love creating worlds through storytelling, all the various facets that a chosen colour world, a faster edit, a different shooting view point or a new format can bring.

Diving into someone’s experiences as a documentary, following through on my own scripts or directing the story that developed as someone else’s brain child - every challenge sparks joy. And a dependence on caffeine and cake.

I fill my spare time with creating film projects, voice overs, social media clips and playing way too much CIV VI.
