📽International Award-Winning Documentary Filmmaker/ 👨🏫Co-Founder and COO, Ascendance/ ⌨️CMO of StartMyName.com/ 🎖Diana Award 2019 Recipient/ 🎟Toronto Film School Alumni /🏆 Top 50 Asia Young Talents
Things I learned from directing an international award-winning documentary film. 1. People connect with things emotionally. Wanted: Shades of Life was produced on a micro-budget, with only a few shooting days, and very little resources in our hands.We managed to hit more than 30+ media appearances, we screened our film at the University of Pennsylvania, at Bursa Malaysia Knowledge Centre, in schools across the country, and even at a premiere event for over 200+ audiences. Here I was thinking that I needed a huge budget, tons of fancy gear, and a big team of producers when all I needed were 4 people, 2 standard cameras, and a great, emotionally resonant story to tell. The way audiences responded is a testament to that. 2. The stories we choose to tell matter. I've been making videos since I was 15, and like most amateur filmmaking enthusiasts, I could have easily opted for a rom-com, or a low budget horror film, or many short films about Gen Z relationships and so forth, but I chose to tell stories of ordinary people who live extraordinary and meaningful lives. The reason is simple. This is the beauty of everyday life. People are far more nuanced than how we portray them to be. It's really hard, but they put a huge smile on their face and show up the next day. Hasn't that fascinated you? 3. A Films Impact Lies More Than It's Box Office Returns Yes I say this because our film didn't get a distribution deal, and yes we'd love to sell the film to networks, but looking back at the impact this film has made, I'm happy to say that we hit the marks we wanted to hit, and we've learned valuable lessons that will help us on our next production. The subject of our documentary, Genkeswaran, and his venture, Chess Master Journey has grown so much more thanks to the impact that this film has brought on. We've had Gen Z audience who would never watch documentaries come up to us and say that they are more interested to watch documentaries now! My goal for this film was to show it to at-risk students, people who would like a second chance in life, and those who are feeling stuck. I've had people come up to me and say that this film brought a smile to their faces, and they feel more motivated to go out and boldly pursue their interests. 4. The Next Film will be so much more amazing! As a filmmaker pursuing my goals to tell meaningful real stories, the process of making, marketing, and releasing the film on YouTube has taught me valuable lessons on content production. I believe these lessons will make a difference for the next film we're making. Wanted: Shades of Life is my way of sharing a personal story that can connect, inspire, and resonate with audiences. I believe our strength comes in our ability to bring out, and shape the story in ways that audiences will resonate with. You can watch Wanted: Shades of Life ft. Genkeswaran Muniyan on YouTube now to see how we've done this for Gen!

„AMALIA’S LEGACY“ (DRAMA, GERMANY 2024) SHORT FILM & SEQUEL IS HERE! FULL VIDEO & FULL PLOT AVAILABLE HERE: https://lnkd.in/datZpc3d And here also the prequel „Amalia’s Prime“ (Germany 2023): https://lnkd.in/e36Txgzb My 4th & last self-made & produced short film for my film school & university is now online! As with its predecessor, the topic in this sequel also deals with mental health, but is based on the support & sustainable promotion of young actors, so that not only a successful professional future, but also a long-term legacy of talented generations can be ensured. This project is also part of my scientific thesis, where I’m also writing my final paper about it. The title of this thesis is: „What measures can be taken to increase public recognition & preservation of the acting profession, particularly to better protect & promote young talent in the field of mental health?“. I’ve been dealing with the topic of mental health in actors of all ages for years, so I’m increasingly looking for new ideas not only to shoot an exciting story, but also to bring this serious topic to the public better. One of my biggest challenges, as with the predecessor, on this last & wonderful project as a film student so far has been the responsibilities of Screenwriter, Producer, D.O.P. & Director. These new experiences & skills I’ve acquired are a good & important step for me to advance to the next level as a professional filmmaker. It’s not impossible that this project could one day be shot in several chapters but in the form of a feature film. At this point I’d like to thank everyone involved who supported me, this last time as a film student, on the set in front of & behind the camera. Without their commitment, motivation & trust in the project & to this sequel, this implementation would never have been possible: - D.O.P. & 1st AD.: Isabella Solarte - Main Actress (Amalia): Anja Hundsinger - Support. Actress (Josie): Jennifer Dimino - Support. Actress (Valentina): Melissa Emily Maier University of West London Knowledge Foundation - Reutlingen University Sabrina Assif Inka Ernst Stefan Deglmann
