ANTUMBRA continues from London to Los Angeles and will be screened at the 25th-anniversary edition of the Academy Award qualifying LA Shorts International Film Festival.

Congrats to cast and crew for this giant leap.

This is also my personal fifths anniversary of presenting a film at this great festival.

ANTUMBRA runner up in London.

ANTUMBRA was well received in the UK and I was told it looked amazing on the IMAX screen at the Odeon in Greenwich.

The film was the runner-up for Best 5 Minute Film at the WildINDiE festival in London.

So proud and more to go!

THE NEW GUY in Huntington Beach

I am so happy that THE NEW GUY found its festival. On June 5th the Zeitgeist Film Festival will present the film in the Comedy Shorts program. “Who said the end of the world couldn’t be a hoot?!”

The festival focuses on bringing filmmaker together so I hope to see all of your there.

The Villa Aurora in Los Angeles

I had the pleasure of making this short documentary about the Villa Aurora in Los Angeles

The magnificent house has been used as an artist residence since 1995 and it is the former home of the German-Jewish author Lion Feuchtwanger and his wife Marta.

See the film on the VATMH Youtube channel or visit my Vimeo channel for a 4k version or a shorter version in German. Enjoy!
