About Stefan
Stefan is a German citizen with an academic background in history and political science. He is a long-time film critic at the Berlin Film Festival and an advertising executive with 20 years' experience writing and sometimes producing television commercials.
In 2020, Stefan began turning his story ideas, collected over the years, into feature film scripts.
He is working on 12 projects, 7 of which have already been completed. All of them have received awards. First scripts are already sold or optioned.
Stefan has a good feel for stories, but hates the process of writing. That's why he likes to work with partners from different contexts.
All his stories have a small or big humanistic message because he believes films should be more than entertainment noise.
His plan after finishing all the scripts is to dedicate himself to new tasks and maybe write poetry. But for now he is happy to collaborate with production companies to bring his stories to life.
