When did you realised you wanted to be a Filmmaker\Actor\Writer?

First at all, I’m not a profession Filmmaker, Actor or Writer. My passion is capturing underwater footage for creating videos or documantarys. So since I started diving, I always hat my camera with me. This was in Year 2011. You have to understand, that I my creations it´s not possible to take several shots from the same scene. Absolutely everything is improvement.  Especially for my newest documentary “Journey to Ithaka” its not possible to take a second shot from the scene, because when the lift bag is going up from 30m to the surface, it´s over. There is no second chance.

Do you remember your first time at the Movies?

Yes, it was around Christmas in the early 90´s in a really small village in Tyrol / Austria. Originally the Movie was released in 1955 - Lady and the Tramp (in German: Susi und Strolch)

If you should change country where would you like to work?

 I don’t have a favourite country, I want to work where I’m needed as underwater videographer and editor. It´s Mexico, Croatia, Greece, Italy, France.

What do you think about Acting/ filmmaking schools?

Have no contact points and I did not know anyone.

Have you ever hated your ambition?

Yes, on every project because I’m a perfectionist and sometimes it´s really hard to meet my requirements. I´m focused all the time, the first and last one at the filming area. For me it´s stress, but a good stress.

Francois Truffaut used to think that "Film Lovers are sick people” … was he right?

In a certain way yes …

Close your eyes…if I say “Cinema” what do you see?

 I see popcorn, coke and a lot of happy peoples.

Who’s the Director\Actor\Writer that taught you the most?

I do everything by myself – YouTube helps a lot.

About your job, tell us your biggest dream and your worst nightmare…

Let´s start with the nightmare first. It was during a clean-up project in Croatia. I just had on cam for surface content and underwater content. That mean I have to reassemble the surface setup that I can bring the cam into my underwater housing. That was on the Boat / offshore because content for dressing up was needed. After capturing some scenes, I prepared myself and the underwater setup. In a depth of 60m I recognised that my system was not working. Because of the stress level the setup was not assembled correctly. So for that dive, I had no footage. Another nightmare was a flooded housing in a Mexican cave. It was the first dive there and the plan was to create a nice short documentary. I brought 23kg of video equipment to Mexico. The housing was irreparable broken. No single picture or video I brought back home. My biggest dream is “Journey to Ithaka” because I won actually 5 awards and that means a lot of peoples can see what “Health Seas” is doing

A big producer gives you the chance to direct\to play (in) the remake of one of your favourite black and white Movie (if you have one) … what film do you choose?

I´m too young for black / white movies 

Film Industry it’s a tough place and sometimes is normal to feel lost and discouraged… who’s the person that keeps you motivated?

It’s me.

Alfred Hitchcock said: "To make a good film you need 3 things: The script, the script and the script". Do you agree with him?

I usually don´t work with scripts.

What’s your most ambitious project for the future?

Doing a cave project documentary. Means bringing the gear with support deep into the cave.

Do you think that sadness or at least melancholy let be more creative?

For myself I can answer yes. Sometime I had teas in my eyes while editing “journey to Ithaka”
