I’m proud to announce the completion of my new short film DER LETZTE REGEN (aka The Last Rain). After months of post production the movie is finally ready to hit the film festival circuit. Many many thanks and much love to my fantastic cast & crew! You guys rock! More infos & details coming soon!

I bought myself a new keyboard and played around with it a little bit. The outcome was this improvisation. Ah, those sweet sounds of a Steinway…

Well, the neighbor’s dogs didn’t ran away so I thought it should be save to share it without hurting anyone’s ears. So here it is. Just click on the picture below to open the MP3. Enojy!

Today my new documentary BACK TO THE CABIN will hit the stores. It’s a doc about the making of Steven R. Monroe’s  I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE (2011) , the fantastic remake of the cult classic of the same name from the 70′s. I SPIT is about a young female writer who is brutalized during her cabin retreat by five strangers. She then seeks revenge on her attackers, after they left her for dead.

We sat down with the lovely Sarah Butler who plays the lead character Jennifer Hills. Sarah tells us why she hesitated to play the part at first, what it was like to shoot the film’s most crucial scenes and many other tales of adventures during the shoot in the deep south. This doc is available exclusively on the German release of I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE. You can’t find it anywhere else in the world. Check out Amazon.de for the DVD and Blu-ray!

Wow! What a rush! I wrote the script for my new short film “DER LETZTE REGEN” (a.k.a. “THE LAST RAIN”) Friday Night, we shot it Saturday and the first rough cut was finished on Sunday Morning at 6 am. It took us only about 30 hours to make a full 7 minute movie from scratch. I’m still struck by awesomeness (is that even a real word?) over my fantastic cast & crew who after all made the whole project possible in the first place.

“DER LETZTE REGEN” is a dark drama with a twist about two women who want to reconcile after a huge fight until they discover the shocking truth about the real reason for their separation.

Starring Yvonne Pajonkowski, Sorina Kiefer and Joachim Birzele and filmed by director of photography Christopher Dillig, the movie will be completed in the next few weeks.

Check out the first picture from the movie below.

Yep, it just doesn’t stop. After LA and Philadelphia it was time to show it in my home country again. My short film will play next week at the CRANKCOOKIESHORTFILMDAYS (what a cool name – and also long!) in Passau, Southern Germany. On Friday Night, May 27th at 11pm you can watch it on the big screen again. To check out their homepage just click on the picture below.

It began in Germany last spring, then it invaded the USA and now it’s the whole planet! The world is mine! HARHARHAR!!!

Ooops, sorry! Please excuse my short outburst of megalomania. But I have so fantastic news it’s hard to not go crazy about it: On May 17th 2011 my short film NO HARD FEELINGS was released worldwide by INDIEFLIX.COM. Indieflix is an online distributor for all kinds of groovy independent films. The movie is available in German language with English subtitles on DVD or VOD. Check it out!

Well, it was about time. German Thriller & Suspense Channel 13TH STREET has put the short movies of last year’s SHOCKING SHORTS AWARD  finalists on their website. That means you don’t have to have Pay-TV in order to watch my movie. Now it is only a mouse click away. Just click the picture below and enjoy the movie. (Please note it’s only a German version without English subtitles.)

By the way, today (Saturday March 26th) 13TH STREET is airing NO HARD FEELINGS twice! On 5.45 am (If you get up early or go to bed late, this is the perfect time for you) and again tonight at 9pm.

The Thriller & Suspense Channel 13TH STREET is airing a Shocking Shorts Marathon on New Year’s Eve 2010 from 8pm to midnight. At 9.15 pm you can watch my short thriller NO HARD FEELINGS.

This concludes a hugely succesful year for this movie after 4 nominations at international festivals and screenings in Munich, Los Angeles and Philadelphia, the DVD release, multiple times airing on TV and the nationwide theatrical release.

If you think ending the year with my movie on TV is a great thing, think about starting the new one with it! Yep, NO HARD FEELINGS is airing once again on the first day of January 2011. Again on 13th Street at 9pm.

The upcoming Terror Film Festival in Philadelphia has announced that NO HARD FEELINGS has been nominated in three categories for the CLAW AWARDS:

Best Drama Short Film

The festival takes place this weekend in Philadelphia, USA. Claudia and Talin are competing against screen legends Joan Collins (Tales from the Crypt, Denver Clan) and John DeLancie (Star Trek, Crank 2) in their respective categories. Which is pretty awesome if you ask me. The evil bitch from DENVER CLAN and the nothing less evil Q from STAR TREK together with my actors? Wow! Just… wow!
