Director Biography - Brooklyn-Owen Julian Giannin Etzweiler

After completing a four-year apprenticeship as a Mediamatician, I discovered my passion for filmmaking. For the past four years, I have been actively involved in various video projects, writing and producing my own short films. My latest short film, "Don't Look Away," received a special mention from the hosts at the Energiefilm Zürich festival and my short film “Im Clinch” will be shown at the London Breeze Film Festival and at the Lift-Off First-Time Filmmaker Sessions.
