Luki Frieden - Director
Born, february 1973 in Bern, now based in Thun/Swiss. Study at New York Film Academy. I like people who do not take themselves too seriously and have a good sense for irony. I have a dog and a girlfriend. I maybe should have written this in a different order. In my spare time I love reading books, watching documentaries, I travel and dive. I read the "New Yorker", I like "Curb your Enthusiasm", "Family Guy", the FC Thun and plays on Broadway. In my features and commercials I always try to put humans and human emotions into the center of attention.
