Susanne Kellermann

Director

„As a director of photography I was fully conscious of my skills in composition, light, color, time management and team guidance. I really liked assuming the responsibility of a DP and being the one to bring everything together before shooting. However, my real driving force has always been my intense feeling for the screenplay and a deep empathy for the actors.

I wanted to find out what acting means, what an actor has to deal with and how I could actually support an actor, so I studied acting in Vienna. Besides learning and finding out the things I wanted to know about acting, I truly enjoyed enriching myself with new content, transforming into other characters, and acting on stage and on camera.

Ultimately, the craft of cinematography and acting melded with my deep desire to tell stories the way I wanted. I felt that I finally had the tools to do it. That is why I became a director.”
