Philipp Christopher

Actor // Director // Screenwriter

Schauspiel
As an actor, one has the privilege of learning to understand people with all their facets. It's not up to us to judge or criticize them, but to understand both their good and bad sides. This is an exciting process that fascinates me every time. At some point, a kind of merging takes place, a "click" in which one's own life unites with that of the character. This is the ultimate goal, the climax, and I look forward to reaching it every time.
