Request QuoteHey! I am a freelance journalist from Germany now living in the Great Lakes region of Africa, more precisely in Gisenyi/Rwanda at the border to the DR Congo. I moved here in 2016. Since 2005 I have been working for several public broadcasting TV stations in Germany and produced reports, portraits, documentaries from 5 min to 30 min. I love my job! It's that simple. It's my passion to find inspiring stories, develop a film idea, write the story board, get it on camera and finalize it in a captivating edit work. Why? That's also simple. Because everyone loves to hear a good story. Beside producing films, I also write as a freelancer for magazines and newspaper. Feel free to get in touch!

Franz Lermer failed. At the age of 40 his life was a shambles. His company collapsed and his wife suddenly died. Although he believes in God, he did not know how to continue. This portrait film tells his amazing story. How he found again joy and happiness. And what all of this has to do with a horse ranch...
Christmas is always an emotional time. A time during the year where we want to be with our family, enjoy time together, peace and happiness. But what about those people who don't have family? Who struggle in life? Who don't have a place to go? This film follows the story of three different people and their special Christmas Eve. A film that has been rewarded for its sensitiv camera work.
In June 2017 I produced a short documentary film for the NGO Solidarités International about the humanitarian aid brought to a place called Opienge, in the northeast of Congo. A place completely cut off of the rest of the world but with thousands of displaced people who had to flee conflict and fighting. The film shows how difficult it is to reach people in forgotten places like Opienge.
I am a journalist. My husband a humanitarian aid worker for emergency missions. And we have three small children. What does life look like when the phone rings and Daddy is asked to fly away again to help the world? In 2015 a camera followed our family during the intense days when he left to help after the Nepal earthquake.
A short inspiring film about "What is love?" produced for a German TV program.
