Maurizius Staerkle Drux was born in 1988 in Cologne and grew up in Zurich. Influenced by his parents – his mother performs in her own satirical revues and his father is a comedian and mime artist – he moves between the worlds of language and images, which come together in film. Since graduating from the Zurich University of the Arts he has worked as a documentary filmmaker and sound designer. His films include: "Paradeplatz" (short, 2009), "Mit Lied und Leid" (short doc, 2010), "Zwischen Inseln" (doc, 2011), "Wenn der Vorhang fällt" (short doc, 2013), and his feature-length debut "Concrete Love" (doc, 2014).
