Nov 9, 2024 – Dramaturgy is worth it! DAY of FilmContentDevelopment 2024 in Berlin

A brilliant symposium with lots of content-related input. Despite the challenging organisation, it was worth it to bring so many filmmakers together in one place to discuss the topics surrounding the TAG DER FILMSTOFFENTWICKLUNG !!! And I am proud to be part of the VeDRA board that made this conference possible.

How to be funny if you are not – VeDRA Seminar & Workshop

On October 10 and 11, the VeDRA Seminar & Masterclass: Comic Toolbox with John Vorhaus took place in Berlin, which I organized as part of my work as the person responsible for further training at VeDRA.

It was great fun to watch John Vorhaus in his creative and advertising work. He shared his knowledge with us generously and this with a lot of humor. The participants were enthusiastic and took many tips and tricks back to their writing rooms.
