Hello, fellow artists, producers, well, Stage 32 members!
My name is Dominik Starck and I'm a storyteller living in Germany- and I'm horrible in networking, so I hope this wonderful place will help me to get out of my comfort zone and make connections to like-minded people.
First thing I'd like to do is to offer my help to you (even though I haven't told you the fields I'm working in so far). I'm a writer, director and producer and I consult on various aspects of making low budget indie films in Europe as well as international co-productions, especially in (of course) writing, producing, selling. If I'm able to help you in any way I'll be more than glad to do so. Let's start a conversation.
I still consider myself a beginner, yet I worked on small movies with name talents like Fred Williamson, Lance Henriksen and Lorenzo Lamas and all of them got international distribution to some degree.
So, as mentioned, I worked as a producer and writer on a few micro and low budget high concept genre movies (horror and action) before I wrote/directed my first feature length thriller that just got released. Meanwhile I developed a few very different projects, some of them co-productions and two streaming series (a crime show and a dark comedy). That took me like two years or so and right now I'm done with waiting and projects falling apart and I'll make the stupid move to write/direct another micro budget feature film later this year, a stylized, female-driven thriller.
Overall my goal is working as a storyteller full time, creating imaginative, unique content with passionate people like me. I also believe in long term relationships with mutual help. I understand the business part of showbiz and I'm looking to learn more about it every day. On the other hand I'm not good in handling technical equipment and software so those are usually the fields I need help with.
I hope I can compensate the fact that English isn't my first language enough to be a productive member of this community and I'm glad to meet everyone reading those lines. Hi there. Yes. You. Thanks for taking the time. Drop me a line.
