Working for Arash & Arman T. Riahi's Crossmedia Project »Everyday Rebellion« I had the pleasure to make a short portrait about the syrian activist group EUNUS.  EUNUS – Association in Support of the Syrian Revolution: Founded in September of 2011, the EUNUS association is a conglomeration of Syrian citizens defining itself as a “jointly coordinated force” dedicated to achieving a free and democratic Syria.  This portrait will be the first to start Everyday Rebellion's contribution to ARTE's Media Platform »Le Monde Arab en révolution(s)«. Everyday Rebellion is a documentary about the power of peaceful protest and the new forms of civil disobedience in a time of global upheavel. Check it out on facebook.

The Arab world in revolution(s) wants to capture the change in Arab countries as a unique moment in history, and give Arab people a voice. This is the first time that ARTE has been involved in a long-term cross-media project, for which all ARTE program units contribute to a common effort to create an innovative platform with different linear and non-linear media outputs. In the next months, we’ll stay close to the people and events, especially when they are no longer topical issues or eventful enough for other media to cover.

One dog, one ring, multiple possibilities. I knew of the many difficulties of directing animals, but having worked with dogs for the first time it miraculously turned out great in an instant. Puppies Bella and Lilly as well as their owners made a great effort on yesterday's shoot for a commercial for the upcoming musical »Legally Blonde«. The material of the musical so far comes from UK, we didn't shot it. 

Thanks to my team and our clients at VBW for being patient with the cuties on set.

To answer your question: Yes! It was me. I pieced it together - a hell of a reel for Golden Girls. It was a bit of a challenge at first. But in the end it turned out to be the biggest, most amazing showreel I ever worked on. Featuring work of directors Arash T. Riahi, Arman T. Riahi, Verena Soltiz, Raphael Barth and many more. 

The many great songs were interpreted by Two Spirits.

A few weeks ago my friend Martin told me he is currently working on the transcription of Frank Zappa's »G-Spot Tornado« for guitar. I dig this song, especially the orchestral version, interpreted by Ensemble Modern in 1993. Hearing it, I imagine little fluffies, ants, »squalbs« (such as described by MMW on their amazing album »Let's Go Everywhere«) and other tiny creatures joining forces and marching against an evil power - such as human legs and stuff. Anyway, Martin asked me to film him performing his version of »G-Spot Tornado«, which is essentially a one by one transcription of the original track released on Frank Zappa's visionary studioalbum »Jazz From Hell«. Zappa himself considered the song »to be impossible to play by humans«. Well, Martin did it. I framed it. Here is what it sounds and looks like... »Whip it out!«
