Jakarta: THE BIG DURIAN video now online (NSFW).

I was hired to shoot a party video for the website Global Nanpa at the end of March, not in Shanghai, but in Jakarta, Indonesia.

In October 2007, I had the chance to join the JOHN RABE movie team in Shanghai and took it immediately. What followed were almost 4 months full of excitement, pain and so much learning and experience. It was the best time of my life. And now, the movie finally started running in german cinemas. It will probably also start running in China on April 29th....

I’m trying to upload at least 5 new works every week to flickr, but recently I’ve fallen a bit behind – there’s much business stuff going on at the moment and I’ve to take care of a visiting family member, too.
