International title: "Somewhere in Texas (a star to be)"
The god-like schlager star Hansy Vordermeer casts a spell over his fans - especially the passionate drinker Ferdi. Ferdi decides to radically change his lifestyle in order to get even closer to his idol, who promotes a healthy and ‘eternal’ life.
But his transformation from a binge-drinking chain smoker to a vitamin junkie is met with a lack of understanding from his family.
Ferdi ‘’duels‘’ in western style with addiction experiences, lie constructs, family expectations and a constant stream of advertising.
In his search for a better self, he increasingly moves away from his personal vision of happiness. The central question remains: Do I even want to change? And if so, is that even possible?

Ground Control (2022)
feature film
94'
GROUND CONTROL is an experimental Austrian independent feature film that uses a mixture of real film and animated sequences to explore the life of a psychotic and self-absorbed author, offering insights into a cosmos of thoughts marked by trauma and fear of loss.
At its core, the film is thus also an examination of toxic masculinity and male self-aggrandizement and attempts to portray these in an exaggerated, partly satirical way. The film was completed with a budget less than € 12,000 and after more than 3.5 years of work.
