My name is Torsten. I’ve been fascinated with movies and visual storytelling from a young age (but really, who hasn’t?) and messing with a point-and-shoot as a preteen soon turned into an intense desire to be a filmmaker as a teen. I feel extremely lucky to be alive at this time with great advancements in technology allowing us access greater tools to tell stories with. I bought my first big boi camera, a Panasonic GH4 for the 4K video, in 2014 at the age of 18. I was learning a lot from YouTube creators such as FilmRiot. I joined Stage 32 and found a lot of great people eager to offer assistance. Real life soon got in the way though and I got caught up working my butt off at a manual labor job and soon lost motivation with myself and my vision, so this passion of mine has been locked away for years, gathering dust. It’s now 2021 and I’m almost 26, and I’m finally sick and tired of not being creative anymore.
So, I’m back! Here again looking to collaborate with writers to bring my vision to life. My current project I’m developing is called “Space Oddity”, a reinterpretation of the Bowie classic. My vision for the short is pretty dark and bleak so I won’t get into it here. But I’m excited to be back and hopefully meet some new friends.

Thank you Wayne Jarman! I am somewhat unfortunately still working a day job but trying to better utilize what downtime I do have. I’d rather have something to show for my spare-time hobby than nothing at all!
