PULLED PORK

“Detective Flo Kienzl, with the help of his foster brother and ex-con Eddi Notsch, tries to bring down corrupt pig farmer and mayoral candidate Benny Jagschitz, who not only has pigs in the barn, but skeletons in the closet and the Russian mafia in the hot tub.”

It was fun to be a script consultant for Andreas Schmied’s new crime comedy.

KMM – Audio Stories

For the KMM, one of the largest sound machine museums in Switzerland, I packed interesting facts about mechanical music automatons into short, exciting audio stories for children. These can now be listened to on adapted vintage telephones when touring the museum. I tell a story about a bird robot, let a ghost hunter investigate a haunted piano and reveal that music can also taste like chocolate.

Currently, four of my audio stories can be heard at the KMM.

Gustave and the Music Maschines

This short museum film uses unique archival footage (ca.1900-1930), charming humorous animation, photographic footage of the music machines from the KMM, and original sound machine music to tell entertaining and informative stories about the places, people, and peculiarities of these special music machines to the museum visitors.

You can see this short movie only at the KMM in Zurich.

Sigi – Pursuit of a Passion

15 years of SG SNOWBOARDS! To celebrate this occasion we brought a piece of SG history to paper. In form of a manga.

Read the story of Sigi Grabner’s first time on the thing called a “snowboard”. A magic moment that produced a passion of a life time. Inspired by true events!

I was responsible for the manga script and Sarah Foller for the illustrations. More episodes will follow.

Magic Animals

“There is a secret sanctuary in the clouds that is the home of the Magic Animals. Their mission is to watch over nature and animals, to help children around the world to protect their environment.”

For this new web series, I wrote all the episodes for season one. This web series was commissioned by Ferrero, and I was excited to be part of a project that dealt with environment issues and asked for solutions.

And as you can see in the trailer, the episodes look great!

Papa rockt

My first feature film script received the script development funding from the Austrian Film Institute in 2019! Together with my producer, Karin C. Berger, I am currently working on the screenplay.

Synopsis
Small time Viennese criminal Georg suddenly finds himself a single-dad of a 6 year-old son. Time to quit his life of petty crime and go into hiding. But his new low-key life in a small Tyrolean village is disrupted when his son suddenly decides to wear girls’ dresses, causing the whole village to bully the little boy. It’s time for a father to protect and support his son – by squeezing himself into a dress, as well. An act of love that ends up drawing way more attention than planned…

COPS

“Chris trains with a special police unit, a daily life of action and peer pressure. When he shoots a mentally ill man on duty, allegedly in self-defense, his colleagues celebrate him as a hero, but the outside world reacts with criticism. Soon after, traumatic symptoms begin to surface and Chris does everything to hide it in order to fulfill his dream of becoming an elite cop.”

I was hired by Golden Girls Film as a story consultant for the screenplay of COPS.

Filmography

Sorry, this entry is only available in German.

Monsieur Raf

Monsieur Raf, the toy giraffe from the animation short Pepita & Max, is being turned into an app!

The app will allow children to explore the wondrous world of Swiss traditions through animated shorts, documentary clips, games, and stories – all together with Monsieur Raf.

I wrote four new animated stories about the Swiss sport of hornussen, cutout art, wild herbs and chestnuts, which will all be available to be viewed in the app.

The Migrumpies

“For a TV documentary, the two unemployed friends Benny and Marko pretend to be petty criminals with immigrant background until the coin flips and reality turns against them.”

I was part of the story consultant team of this award-winning, summer hit comedy.
