Rick Ostermann

Driven by a stark, realistic approach to filmmaking, Rick Ostermann was born in 1971 in Kiel, Germany. Active since the mid-2000s, his work primarily explores the drama genre, with his most notable films being "Wolfskinder" and "Krieg," both of which poignantly depict the harsh realities of war, garnering a significant recognition though they did not garner major festival awards. Ostermann's authorial style is marked by his unflinching depiction of post-war trauma, matched with a keen eye for raw, emotional performances. On a personal note, Ostermann's courage to tackle such heavy subjects with both sensitivity and unapologetic honesty is a testament to his craft as a filmmaker and his commitment to truth in storytelling.
