Johannes Franke is a longtime film actor ("Counterpart", "SOKO", "Tatort", "The Mountain Medic", "Großstadtrevier", "Polizeiruf 110" and many more) and has learned to love the medium of film over the years, and not just in front of the camera. In his early 20s, he held his first camera in his hands and, as the digital cameras learned to shoot moving pictures, he became a self-taught cinematographer in the film industry. The desire to tell his own stories is now evident in his directorial work. In 2011, his first short film "EWE" was released. The film designs in a documentary way a dark and yet ironic dystopia of a world where violation of privacy is a civic duty. Séance is his second directorial work.
