“Curiosity and amazement. Telling exciting stories. Exploring surprising and fascinating phenomena. Finding out what drives people. In familiar and foreign cultures. On the lookout for things that bind us and take my imagination to its limits. Things that question life as I know it, where nothing is taken for granted and where I am pushed to see the world through different eyes. This is what intrigues me and what pushes me to make films. Because is hardly anything as fascinating as reality!”
