SOLDATE JEANNETTE

Biographies Team

Daniel Hoesl – Director

Born 1982, lives and works in Vienna, Austria. He blasted some buildings in the art circuit and soon after, founded “A European Film Conspiracy“ to produce films in his unique no-budget collective style. While working as Assistant Director to Ulrich Seidl’s Paradise-Trilogy he first got malaria, then found Jesus. Elephants are now his favorite animals. Daniel is best known for his controversial interpretation of Franz Schubert’s “Winterjourney”. His predilection for progressive concepts gave way to his first feature.

Gerald Kerkletz – Director of Photography

Born 1975 in Graz, Austria, carries the power of light in his heart. A myriad gaffer lives behind him; he moved on to cinematography soon.

With Daniel Hoesl he shares a passion to sauna, where in a heated atmosphere, the idea for “Soldate Jeannette“ was born.
