‘Bolex’ a sixteen millimeter film camera, fully mechanical, made in Switzerland, became my first investment in the movie industry.
The story ‘Musikshow’ starts with this sentence. Beginning of 2008 I started to write down stories of my life. You can read them in full length at my website.

I’ve bought a couple of old Super 8 cameras off eBay in the last year or so, hoping to resurrect some childhood memories, when I imagined myself the next Spielberg…and had to settle for becoming a writer instead. Still think I let something pass me by. Was it Karl May or Clint Eastwood who made you a “German cowboy”–just wondering…

I read all the Karl May books as a child, like all kids in Germany do. Since that time I am fascinated by cowboys. Somehow Clint Eastwood had also an influence since he is one of the best cowboys in the movies and I like his acting and directing. In New York somebody told me I look like him.
