Helene Hegemann

Helene Hegemann can be proud of her output thus far: At 14 she wrote the script for the medium-length film Torpedo, which screened in 2008 at the Hof Film Festival and was subsequently released in theaters. She is also the author of the stage play Ariel 15, which she then reworked into a radio play after it received strong reviews.

In addition to Axolotl Roadkill, the novel on which she based her feature film debut, she published another book in 2013 entitled Hunting Two Tigers (Jage zwei Tiger). Hegemann holds the Max Ophüls Prize for young artists.
