ABOUT ME
After a year abroad in Ghana and a Bachelor in Audiovisual Media at Stuttgart Media University, I studied Directing, specializing in documentary films at the renowned Filmacademy Baden-Wuerttemberg. My documentary focus also impacts how I write and direct my fictional films. I'm married to the Ghanaian educationist Irene Selorm Krug. In my films, I take a critical look at German and Ghanaian society while reflecting on my role in this world, sometimes seriously, sometimes humorously, but always with blunt, authentic honesty.
