Biography
Johannes Fabrick was born in Vienna in 1958. He studied at the Filmakademie, and after completing several shorts, he made his feature-length debut as a director with the award-winning TV comedy "Bernhardiner & Katz" (AT 1997). His sophomore film "Beastie Girl" (AT 1998) screened at several international festivals and garnered lead actress Sabina Riedel an award at the Diagonale in Graz.
He went on to direct several acclaimed TV feature films, including "Und morgen geht die Sonne wieder auf" (2000), "Schleudertraum" (2002), "Ein langer Abschied" (2006) and "Tödlicher Rausch" (2011). Fabrick frequently worked with actress Julia Koschitz, who starred in his Grimme Award-winning "Der letzte schöne Tag" (2011) – for which her co-star Wotan Wilke Möhring won a German Television Award – as well as in "Tödliche Versuchung" (2013), "Pass gut auf ihn auf" (2013) and "Zweimal lebenslänglich" (2015).
Koschitz and Mörhring were also part of the cast of Fabrick's road movie "Kleine Ziege, sturer Bock", which premiered at the 2015 Filmfest Hamburg.
