WHAT IS THE INTEREST AND ATTRACTION OF WORKING AS A PROFESSOR IN THE MOTION PICTURES PROGRAM AT THE H-DA?
„Since my studies I have always worked practically, the last 25 years as a film producer, but I also found it important and interesting to pass on my knowledge. The professorship for „Creative Film and TV Production“ offers an excellent opportunity for this „knowledge transfer“ in an artistic environment, once for me as a teacher, but hopefully also for the students, who as the future film talents will challenge us artistically and entertain us in an original way.“
