ChatGPT says this about me:
Born in Buenos Aires and raised among the enchanting trees of the Black Forest, Felipe Ascacibar spent his teenage years walking the fine line between comedy and chaos as a clown in walk-acts and dabbling in improvisational theater. Then came the call of duty from the German navy, which showed him how ridiculously funny serious can be.
Felipe’s first foray into the industry was as a runner for Playboy TV in Miami back in the mid-’90s. He also had a burning desire to conquer this new-fangled ‚personal computer‘ thing. So, he embraced his inner nerd by living at the office as an intern for weeks on end, immersing himself in Avid editing software. This unconventional path was surprisingly rewarding, ultimately leading him to become an award-winning film editor.
After wrapping up his Master’s at the University of Arts Berlin, Felipe decided to throw himself headfirst into directing… along with a smorgasbord of other hobbies. Because why limit oneself to just one passion when you can juggle them all?
Sensitive and deeply passionate about his craft, he thrives on collaborating with actors, finding joy in the nuances of performance. Fluent in English, German, and Spanish, Felipe connects with diverse talents and ideas, proving that language is just another form of expression in the world of storytelling. After all, whether behind the camera or in the kitchen, Felipe believes that creativity and connection are what truly nourish the soul.
