It was a joy to talk to actor Enzo Brumm – about the invisible work of acting (hint: lots of reading) or filmmaking in general, his love for a great Steak Frites, the beauty of nature (Norway is a favorite) and why a bit more action and less talking might be the way to go.

Joscha Bongard is wearing many director-hats – from short film to documentary and now his feature film debut, he’s done it all.
