Director Biography - Luca Studer

As an artist's son, I was interested in art early on. In 2011, the Lützelfühe theater was looking for extras and extras for the production "Der Schulmeister". Unknowing that this will direct my life in a new direction, I applied and got a big role in addition. Immediately I found a new passion, but I wanted to do much more. So I searched for roles in films soon after. My first day on a film set was so interesting that I swore I'd make it my profession. After taking a look at the Hollywood industry and learning how to make and write movies in a workshop, I wrote my first screenplay. "RED SNOW"

Education is very important to me, that's why I have already visited various film schools and want to continue my education. I enjoy attending workshops and master classes to learn from experienced directors and apply new directing techniques.

The man at the computer:
To give the story more diversity, we tell the story of a parallel
The man who wants to order a prostitute. This figure also makes a change
in the course of the film. The man searches, first with the derogatory term "hookers"
for an escort lady. As in a computer crash. the story of Melanie tells
changes his interest.
The man at the computer can be seen only briefly on a background image of the computer.
Nevertheless, the viewer gets to know the character a bit through the actions of the actor
Man.

Filmer narrative:
As soon as the word "hooker" or "prostitute" falls, the average viewer already has
a certain stereotype in mind. I wanted to play with this thing and read myself for the
Inspire visual implementation of "back paintings". The power of the art painting
is that the viewer constantly imagines that the woman stands in the picture and her
Face shows.
