My passion and longing for the different and extraordinary in life is what makes me. Before I could write, my mother had to write down my stories for me. They have been there ever since I can remember and will always be there. I have no secrets from myself and no qualms about writing anything down, however painful it may be, because I couldn't live without writing. I always wanted to make films because I wanted a job with a meaningful purpose. And what could be more important than giving someone a laugh or a cry? To make people forget their own lives and problems for a moment and open up a world full of dreams and possibilities for them - that's the reason why I want to make films for people and not for me.
