The first steps

I worked on my website by posting messages in guestbooks on other sites to attract attention and gauge reactions. With advice from a friend named Esther, I resolved an issue with my homepage design, which now features a silhouette gazing at a snowy Lüneburg under a full moon, resembling a scene from 'Mal.'

Welcome, Folks!

I've finally managed to update my page amidst a busy period and I'm currently focused on revising my latest project, 'The Mark.'

An interesting anecdote from making 's1lence' is that I had to cut up my sofa bed to create a stunt and the stunt mat, highlighting the dedication and resourcefulness required in filmmaking.
