Getting Hit by Maturity in the Age of #whathtefuckshallwedowithourlives

The short film "Getting Hit by Maturity in the Age of #whatthefuckshallwedowithourlives" deals with the issues of the so-called Millenials and their utter shock of suddenly having crossed the unofficial threshold to "real" adulthood, their 30th birthday.
Moreover, the film tells about the feeling of a generation that is somehow lost in the middle between the baby boomers, most of whom are still traditionally entrenched, and the younger GenZ, who are taking to the streets again to save the world.

After graduating from drama school in 2013, I worked on set of a feature film as an assistant director for the first time. Since then, I have dreamed of making my own film, telling my stories and enchanting my audience.
With the short film "Getting Hit by Maturity in the Age of #whathtefuckshallwedowithourlives", a big dream has come true and I hope this marks just the beginning of my career as a film director.
