About me

Sebastian was born in Vienna 1982 and studied Theatre, Film and Media at the University of Vienna. During his mainly theoretical studies he decided to gain more practical knowledge and started to work as a camera operator and editor at a small, local production company. During his studies he attended a screenplay-writing course, after which he wrote two screenplays for short movies, of which one was filmed. After graduating from the University of Vienna Sebastian decided to finish his studies in England at the York St. John University as Master of Arts in Film Production. He gave his professional directorial debut with Persistence which has won 6 awards at the Los Angeles Movie Awards, including the categories Best Narrative Short and Best Director and will be screened at the Polish Film Festival in LA in October this year.

Sebastian seeks for the emotion in the story, during writing and directing. As the director Sidney Lumet already said: "When the actor feels it, I feel it and when I feel it the audience will feel it." Therefore Sebastian creates indepth and complex characters the audience can relate to, to achieve this emotion Sidney Lumet is talking about. Going one step further than everybody else is Sebastian's credo, to create wonderful movies such as "Persistence". His unique directorial method allows the actor to stay focused and in character to recreate the sought for feeling Sebastian wants to see and feel.
