Bärenbraut/Bear´s Bride
Bärenbraut This is my diploma from 2007 at the Filmakademie Baden Württemberg. There seem to be some similarities between Bärenbraut and the Runt by Andreas Hykade, but actually I started working on this film a year before he did. unfortunately the Runt was finished before Bärenbraut, I had huge problems finishing it, because I ran…
