Two and a half years ago, I took stills for the ZDF production "In der Überzahl" (English title: "Comrades of Fortune"). Written and directed by the amazing Carsten Ludwig and shot in the outskirts of Berlin, with two of my absolute favourite male actors of all time, Ulrich Thomsen and Max Mauff. It's not only an hour long duel between a teenage spree killer and his hostage but also a match between the two congenial actors.

The movie is part of the series "Das kleine Fernsehspiel", which gives aspiring directors the chance to realize movies with a bit less pressure to be commercially successful. I had a blast with a wonderful team and two absolutely beautiful subjects. And I am so happy to announce that the film will have its TV premiere next Monday, March 10th at 0:15am on ZDF. Watch out!
