HARDY KRÜGER JR. · FILM PROJECTS

Stories, brought
to the screen.

Storytelling has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I am also drawn to the question of what new ways there are to bring stories to the screen.

The films on this page are part of a journey of creative discovery. I experiment with different programs, try things out, set ideas aside and begin again. Along the way, I keep encountering the limits of AI. Some things work surprisingly well; others turn out very differently from what I imagined. That, too, is part of the experiment.

I want to meet the changes of our time with curiosity and remain open to learning. I bring my experience as an actor and author, along with the joy of stepping into unfamiliar territory once again.

I do not yet know where this journey will lead. But I am very curious to see what stories these possibilities will allow us to tell in the future.

MY APPROACH

The story sets the direction.

I always begin with the people within a story: their desires, conflicts and choices. AI gives me additional ways to make ideas visible and to explore visual language, rhythm and atmosphere.

The projects shown here are AI-assisted productions. The videos contain generated imagery and sequences.

Have a story we could develop together?
