Overview

• He said the film would portray the moving story of his parents and his Italian–German family, as well as a boy who found refuge in cinema.
• He noted he might write the screenplay during a break on a sailboat because shooting schedules prevent writing.
• He spoke on the sidelines of Adams Acht, where principal photography wrapped days ago after six weeks across northern Germany, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic, including twelve days on the water.
• Adams Acht, starring Felix Kammerer, Svenja Jung, and Leonard Kunz, centers on the German eight’s 1960 Olympic victory and is planned for a September 2026 cinema release.
