Mikael Kreuzriegler

I am an Austrian filmmaker in Los Angeles, interested in telling stories about the big dreams in the hearts of ordinary people. I am inspired by Silent Cinema, Fassbinder, and Bresson. My work (...) as director and cinematographer has been screened at the Berlinale, the Sundance Film Festival, the Directors Guild of America and many film festivals around the world. I earned my Magister philosophiae degree in German Literature, Philosophy and Theater Studies upon a thesis on Ernst Lubitsch's musical comedies from the University of Vienna, and received an MFA in film production from the University of Southern California (USC).
