I was an actor in Jean-Michel Brawand's feature film The Bachelor, filmed in May 2024.
"‘The Bachelor’ follows Misha, a failed writer in recovery from drug addiction, who gathers his closest friends to a retreat on the outskirts of Berlin for his bachelor party. Over the course of the evening, he leads them through games, rituals, as well as a session of constellations in which all participants take on the roles of Misha’s close family members, in an attempt to achieve emotional resolution and free him of past traumas."
