Overview
- Elyas M'Barek, who announced Sunday at the Founder Summit in Wiesbaden that he will leave New York, is relocating to his hometown Munich.
- He called New York “extremely expensive,” saying the cost of living there no longer made sense for his life.
- He said constant long-haul flights for shoots and meetings in Germany left him too tired and too inflexible for work.
- House-hunting is underway in Munich as he and his wife Jessica look to rent a four-room apartment rather than buy.
- He plans to keep ties to New York as a second home even as his production slate and family life center in Germany.
