At the age of 19, in 1994 I began writing the screenplay for TRIGON.

After that, I drew an exact storyboard of the whole film. With the storyboard in hand, everybody working with me, knew what Trigon should look like. Because of this storyboard we did not have to use that much film stock and that is one of the reasons why TRIGON was a fairly cheap production. (It costed 25.000 DM, that's about US$14.000)

In summer 95 Sami Haidar (executive producer) and myself found the two mainactors Erich Ude (Lothar Kreutzer) and Peter Kotthaus (Ernst Härtle). Erich Ude was working as an actor at the Nuremberg theatre and Peter Kotthaus was living in Munich. He has played in some German TV-series.
Both took part in TRIGON without receiving any payment.

It took us approximately a year to film all sequences at eight different locations. Nearly all of them, we have found in Nuremberg. The small observatory, the printing-office of the Nuremberg newspaper (they printed 700 copies of our film newspaper for free), and some parts of the film were shot in a museum. We only had to built the apartment of Härtle in a hangar, and for the scenes playing in the street with the paper girl, we went to the Bavaria Film studios in Munich.

Because all of the people involved in the film were either working, studying or attending school, we only had the weekends for shooting. During this time I was working at CA Scanline Production in Munich as a 3D-computer animator. The post production took about one year until summer 97. I made the whole special effects with the SGI workstations at Scanline, and edited it at our AVID media composer.
