About Me

I am Lorenz, a German filmmaker now based in Montreal, Canada.

Growing up with a foundation in music rather than in visual arts, I only recognized the power of telling a story with moving pictures, sound, light, and music at the age of 20, when I grew a strong interest in the works by contemporary directors such as Dennis Villeneuve and Lars von Trier.

The ability to craft a piece of art by harnessing the complexity of interacting art forms, all whilst compressing a story to its very essence pulled me towards learning about the art of cinema and filmmaking. Over the span of the last six years, I have since studied cinematography and directing autodidactically.

Having recently moved to Montreal, I am working towards building meaningful connections with talented people across all fields. For me, the beauty of filmmaking lies in the collaborative process, where each person’s expertise contributes to making a shared vision come alive.
