About

Friendly Frames is a passion project of myself, a mathematician and computer scientist by trade but a filmmaker a heart. If you want a more in-depth look into all of my publications just click here.

The journey began with the short film Ghosting, a one-person project created without any prior filmmaking experience. All I had at the time was an idea, a mobile, and an interest in films. Despite its humble beginnings, Ghosting went on to win the Best Original Screenplay Award at the Korean International Short Film Festival.

In 2023, the project Sie nicht. elevated the passion and excitement to the next level. It was the first-time that I was given the chance, by some amazing people by the way, to produce, direct and edit this short film into something that I am extremely proud of. Without Kathi and Deniz who accompanied me in this whole process this friendly frames project would not be where it is today.

Sie nicht. went on to six awards at independent short film festivals and was in the official selection of even more. This milestone solidified my commitment to creating meaningful, high-quality products that leave a lasting impact.

Due to this first time professionally directing gig, a door opened at another unexpected part of my life. I was able to combine my passion for filmmaking with my education in quantum computer science and co-produced a short documentary about the intersection of quantum physics and art. The documentary about BruQner - The Sound of Entanglement was born.

Join in on this exciting journey. Creating, innovating, and sharing stories that inspire, educate, or are just enjoyed for what they are. If you read this far I am glad that you were interested in my story and the story of how friendly frames came to be. :)
