Born in Karlsruhe, Germany in 1989, he began working as a film projectionist while still at school in order to spend as much time as possible in the cinema. During his degree in audio-visual media in Stuttgart he made several short films and led the student TV station at the university. He spent his practical semester working on Jim Jarmusch's "Only Lovers Left Alive" and graduated with a master thesis on primal fears in horror films. Since 2016 he has been studying feature film directing at the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg.
