Make Love
A trimedial format for TV, WEB & RADIO
The successful Grimme Online award nominated timedial documentary format "MAKE LOVE" is entering its second season, starring Ann-Marlene Henning, author of the worldwide best seller "Make Love" and the new book "Make More Love". In our allegedly enlightened society where sex is omnipresent in the public sphere, the true taboos are the silence, insecurities and knowledge gaps within our private relationships. The documentary series MAKE LOVE takes us into the authentic and individual realities of different couples between the ages of 20 and 100 alongside sexologist, couple therapist and best selling author Ann-Marlene Henning. Her expertise, tact and exhilarant naturalness allow Ann-Marlene Henning to help the couples (and us) break the silence. While interacting with Ann-Marlene Henning, the partners learn to really perceive themselves and their significant other, thus finding true intimacy. Using model couples, MAKING LOVE additionally shows many lesser known facts about good sex - be it alone or in pairs.

Iceland’s Artists and Sagas (Interactive)
A webformat for ZDF, in cooperation with ARTE.
The courage to go beyond ones horizons and the confidence that new and assortative trends rise from chaos, irrational behaviour and from trespassing cognition, are indispensable for evolving creativity. Creativity is a leap in the dark.
Iceland’s Artists and Sagas offers an intuitive and interactive access to the creative and cultural landscape of Iceland. The multimedia expedition takes on the themes of CHAOS, ISOLATION, HERITAGE, INTUITION, COURAGE, INSPIRATION, HOMELAND and LONGING and leads to Icelandic artists and their distinctive relation to the volcanic insular state.
Eight selected abstracts of the famous Grettis Saga represent the Sagas of Icelanders as cultural heritage, creating an authentic scheme that pictures Iceland’s cultural present.
