This October director Tawnya Foskett, whom with I worked before in Melbourne, will finally get together again. We’ll make Tawnya’s next film: Where there’s Smoke. A film about two women with bad boyfriends and bad habits. Sounds like fun!
The film needs your support. Give The Auteur Tribe your money.
We will shoot at the East Coast. Watch some stunning mood-board impressions of the films look here. And do give them dollars – just click on the image above.
The Alchemist’s Book invited to US Festival
Having won its awards and finished the festival circuit, this film by Michael Wolf keeps being invited by programmers who’ve seen it elsewhere.

Fun in Berlin
We are having a lot of fun shooting Cheryl Dunye’s latest feature film Mommy is Coming in Berlin.
"Sometimes it pays to listen to your mother."
“Set in the international creative melting pot Berlin, this raunchy romantic comedy of errors confronts the last lesbian taboo: Mommy. A take on screwball romantic comedy & porn topped off w/Dunye’s ingenious form of storytelling.”
Join us on facebook, if you like. Or have a look at some really hot mums here.
Summer.
Billa Eatcard online now.
The Austrian TVC Billa: Eatcard, shot at the Dead Sea in May, is online now.
We shot with director Ron Eichhorn for Micanfilm and with a great team put together by service producer Guy Lichtenstein – standing in salty baby-bath-warm water using film rather than HD:
- as little electronics as possible to keep possible salt & corrosion damage risks low
- large dynamic range in the negative given the extreme contrasts
- short, simple and easy post production workflow
Turning Point
I was lucky enough to bump in to Vika Evdokimenko, who found me following a kind recommendation by Martin Blankemeyer Munich Filmwerkstatt. Vika is currently working on a character driven observational documentary about secular women, who find their way to a religious life at a later stage – often very unexpected.
Produced by Mosaic Films there was a small budget to follow our Ukraine born Munich based protagonist Marianna for a bit down the path in to her new life – an intensely enjoyable shoot and collaboration, hopefully to be seen soon on British TV prior to international release.
…I tend to take ups and downs in life with lots of humour…being so deeply immersed in to this lovely enclosed world for so long now, I found this one here today…
Hannah, die Zweite.
First few glimpses from the shoot of Hannah, the project I am shooting currently on my Canon 5D Mark II with Israeli director Yuval Tzafrir.
We chose for this film a combination of improvisation and realistic life-like settings. Using minimal size team and gear as well as demanding the flexibility of shooting during the best light of the day, we stick to a schedule woven around our artistic goals. With great results so far thanks to the excellent collaboration of our lead Leni Wesselman and our Swedish born coach Johanna Welin with writer/director Yuval Tzafrir.
20ies.
From time to time I am teaching. I like it a lot. And sometimes the results are amazing. This year I love the most this small bit from the in camera film trick workshop I held at HFF Munich as part of the post production seminar. Two-way mirrors, miniatures, Schüfftan and the lovely 435.
Austria. Israel.
I swear I do not own any ELAL stocks… but for some reason I am often booked on it: 
Having just got back from Israel I am leaving for Tel Aviv again tomorrow night to shoot a TVC at the Dead Sea…Hovering…I love it…Salt…the gear hates it…
