Editor

Editing creates connection, context and immersion. Only here do individual scenes become a film. Ever since I first witnessed an editing process for the first time at an interactive festival in 2014, I have been utterly fascinated by this area of film making.

Finding a fitting rhythm, perfect transitions and transforming footage into what in the end is a cohesive and coherent film – to me, that is the magic of editing. Narrative, documentary, experimental projects, they all have their unique charm. Every time, I am excited to carve a film from raw footage, like a stonemason from a block of marble.

I have a lot of experience with Premiere Pro, basic knowledge of Avid and am currently editing my first feature project in Da Vinci Resolve.

Projects (selection)

  1. Gott im Quadrat (2026)

    In the beginning, this mockumentary inspired by Elizabeth T Spira’s Alltagsgeschichten is exploring the legendary phenomenon of Wiener Grant [Viennese grumpiness]. A sudden rumor appears that god is granting wishes in a Gemeindebau [public housing]. A search begins. All over the city, mysterious red squares start appearing.

  2. trans*phoria (2025)

    Protagonist Mia is sitting cross-legged on mats of a rope-play studio. She has blue and pink hair and is smiling. The mirrored wall behind her shows her mirrored images a few times. The subtitles translate to: “I am feeling so good since I transitioned, I really need to say it.” © safer*space collective Protagonist Olu is standing at the microphone in a record studio. He is wearing glasses and earphones and is pointing upwards with his right index finger. The subtitles translate to: “...to be who I truly am. That gave me the confidence I needed.” © safer*space collective

    Beyond voyeurism and inspiration porn, the documentary film project trans*phoria is about euphoria, positive surprises and everything our 23 protagonists were able to learn and experience on their trans journey.

  3. Noah's Journey (2025)

    Fall 2014: Physicist Noah Kutschera thinks he has completed his journey. His post-doc in Vienna is the start of a new life for him, the trans man now wants to live stealth. His scientific environment, but also first points of contact with the queer community, call for a new exploration of his self.

    In 2020, Sophie Raehme and Perschya Chehrazi called on their worldwide network to keep pandemic diaries and send them to them. The audio and video recordings were then edited to create an engaging insight that presents the new reality of people from different parts of the world from their perspective.

  5. F to M (2018)

    This short film, which was created spontaneously during Hamburger Kinokabaret 2018, is my first direct exploration of my trans identity and a very personal project that still is dear to my heart.
