Since 1988, I am a member of the Deutsche Friedensgesellschaft – Vereinigte

Committee (Bundessprecher), the national council (Bundesausschuß), and co-ordinator of
the history project group.

your clutter, or to add a lot more to it for free.

especially new producers and screenwriters. I joined the NPA in January 2008 with the intention
of coming to grips with the business side of filmmaking.

I first joined Quakers in 1990 when I was still living in Germany, and left the Society again
in 1995. Following brief periods of being drawn to existentialist atheism and, shortly afterwards, Buddhism, I re-joined Quakers in 1998 in Birmingham. Today I attend Redland Meeting in
Bristol where I was Co-Clerk for three years.
Shooting People www.shootingpeople.org
Not as bad as it sounds, this is simply a network of independent filmmakers, mostly in Britain.
I joined them in Spring 2005. A good site to find cast and crew for my own film productions,
to gather useful information on all aspects of filmmaking and interesting projects other
filmmakers are involved in.

Publications I have worked and written for
Graswurzelrevolution www.graswurzel.net

one of their editorial collectives and a fairly regular contributor.

Magazine that is published by the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in Germany since 1932.
In 2000 its name was changed from "Der Quäker" to "Quäker" to make it sound more
inclusive. During the early and mid-1990s, I was a very regular author and provided informal
assistance, especially proof reading and editing translations from English into German.
Young Quaker www.youngquaker.tk
Monthly magazine by young Quakers in Britain, first published in 1956. From 1997 to 1999, I was
responsible for managing the subscriptions and some aspects of pre-production, as part of a paid
position for Young Friends General Meeting.
