How Did I Get Here
A darkly comic artist portrait where fact and fiction never fully resolve.
Concept
A six-chapter portrait of filmmaker Maitane Midby, combining staged situations with excerpts from her own documentaries. Dark comedy and shifts between performance and documentary leave the boundary between fact and fiction unresolved.
My role
I originated the concept and co-wrote the film with Maitane Midby and Florian Kogler. I co-directed with Kogler and produced it with Kogler and Philipp Pess.
