Kolja Malik wrote his first screenplay at the age of eleven and was awarded various prizes for young film maker as a teenager. In 2018, his short film STORKOW KALIFORNIA opened the section Perspektive Deutsches Kino at the 68th Berlinale and was a part of the Short Film Corner at the Festival de Cannes 2018.

Firstly, LAS VEGAS is my attempt at understanding the origins of violence. On the other hand, I did not want to merely do a retelling of the real-life case this film is based on but turn it into an escapist love story. I didn’t want to make a calculating movie but a warm one – a dark embrace. One I can cry to without leaving the theater feeling sick.
