After trying to get into film school with 19 (didn’t work) and then studying English and Film Studies in Zürich, Chris went to the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg in Ludwigsburg (this one worked). During his studies of film editing, his shortfilms, NAKAM (fiction, d: Andreas Kessler) and DAS ROTOHR (doc, d: Paul Drey), were both awarded with prices and qualified or shortlisted for the shortfilm Oscars in 2023. Since graduating, he has been working as a freelance film editor. His two feature-length documentaries YUMI - THE WHOLE WORLD (d: Felix Länge) and WOLKEN ÜBER LÜTZERATH (d: Lukas Reiter) both had their world premiere at the Max Ophüls Preis Festival in 2025. His next documentaries DRIVING EUROPE (d: Felix Länge) and KIRILL SEREBRENNIKOV – EVERY DAY IS AN EMPTY STAGE (d: Marcus Richardt) are currently between festivals and cinema releases in 2026 and 2027.
