Project

During my stay at Faberllull I will work on the script of “Endplay”, my first feature-length fiction film.

“Endplay” is the a story of a big lie that leads the protagonist to believe that he has very little time left to life. Crossing lines between tragedy and comedy, the project investigates the seed of life that hides in the awareness of one’s own finitude.
