Director Bio

Misha L. Kreuz has worked as an editor, assistant director and production manager for film and TV. After a variety of commercials, he wrote and directed his first independent feature "Greenhorn" which started to gain traction and international recognition in 2003 and was shown at film festivals worldwide. "In the Light of the Night", Kreuz’ follow-up to this venture, was completed this year in cooperation with Cologne production company Uhlandfilm.

Director Statement

The film arose from the observation that the bourgeois world produces facts that lead to insoluble contradictions and often end up in crime and destruction. In the past, the manifestation of patriarchy in civil society has led to increasing challenges for the feminine part of society. "In the Light of the Night" not only reveals the abyss  behind  the surface, but  the  cinematically  designed  surface  forms  the abyss for everything that happens in the film.
