Writer & Director

The written word is my earliest vehicle for creative expression. Now, I form it into scripts, and then moving images. I trust in their power to address people directly and intuitively.

At the heart of every film lies a good story. As director, it is my responsibility and my privilege to tell this story – not by myself, of course. My vision has to be strong, it has to inspire the team and make us want to realize it together – so that at the right moment, I can let go of everything else and fully focus on my actors.


I first had the opportunity to try writing scripts and directing at festivals for interactive, easy-access film-making. I was hesitant to draw inspiration from my personal experiences because I was worried to be reduced to nothing but my trans experiences. Over the course of my film studies and while witnessing social developments, it became more and more clear to me that I hold a unique perspective that I want to draw from. I want to make films that condense authentic experiences beyond violence, drama and clichés. They are supposed to give a feeling of togetherness and hope to the TIN* (trans inter* nonbinary) community. Everyone else can gain a realistic insight into trans life experiences.

Projects (selection)

  1. Noah's Journey (2025)

    Closeup of main character Noah. He has wavy brown hair and glasses. He is standing in a queer café, behind him two people. A disco ball scatters light onto the white walls. Noah is looking straight ahead in an emotional way, but is also lost in thought. © GMP Supporting character Miriam is standing in a yard together with Noah. The back doors of Noah’s van are open. The van is filled with plants and boxes. The subtitles translate to: “That’s a total jungle.” © GMP

    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.

  2. Stay Sane (2018)

    An interactive video game with real film sequences, in which the aim is not only to solve puzzles but also to help the main character Kevin avoid a panic attack. Working with mental states of crisis and a multi-narrative plot structure presented an interesting challenge.

  3. 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.
