Sebastian Thill is a Mexican-Luxembourgish filmmaker currently residing in Berlin. Having absolved his studies in film directing in 2025, he writes, directs and edits his own projects, exploring themes of emotional hardship, creating brooding, intimate depictions of outcast protagonists – artistically delving into the cinematic beyond.
His path of life has been led by his interest in filmmaking from an early age. Garnering significant attention for the first time with his screenplay "Dominus Sathanas", he won the first prize at Prix Filmreakter in 2018. The finished film – produced together with Luxembourgish theatre company The BGT, and featuring music from highly acclaimed Italian band Messa – went on to be shown at the Open Screen event of the Luxembourg City Film Festival in 2019.
His artistic journey continued with projects such as "R.I.P." (financed and published through Serge Tonnar's platform KulturKanal Lëtzebuerg), and the initiation of his film studies at Macromedia University of Applied Sciences in Berlin, further expanding his catalogue of projects.
His ardour for reaching out and collaborating with different artists across the world has led to fruitful achievements to his films. Notable names include the aforementioned Italian band Messa, Dutch illustrator and musician Bob Mollema, German punk band Pisse and most recently, Mexican actor Mario Iván Martínez.
