Filmmaker Statement

The cameraman Joshua and I met in our local pub and we decided that we wanted to make a film together, but we still lacked an idea. A few hours later, he told me that a colleague of his once heard about an old man with a long white beard from Karlsruhe who has crazy loudspeakers in his showroom window and goes to techno raves at night. That sounded very interesting to me, because I like doing portraits. I called "Jürgen Leppert Lautsprecher" the next day, the three of us arranged to meet for a talk and red wine at Jürgen's place, and after that it was clear that we would make a film. Jürgen is a tough and unique person, a genius with enormous stamina and that impressed me a lot. And it's just nice to see and talk to someone who is so into his element and lets us share his experiences.
