Drugged Guns

Drugged Guns is a gritty and intense short film that I had the pleasure of shooting as Director of Photography. Set on the streets of Hamburg's Reeperbahn, the story revolves around three criminal clans whose fragile peace falls apart, leading to chaos, betrayal, and all-out war.

Visually, my goal was to create a raw, immersive atmosphere – using handheld camera work, strong contrasts, and a dirty, urban aesthetic to reflect the tension and moral decay within the story. The lighting and framing evolve with the narrative, drawing the audience deeper into the paranoia and emotional breakdown of the characters. Drugged Guns isn’t just a gangster film – it’s a visual dive into trust, power, and the thin line between loyalty and madness.
