David M. Lorenz is a German book author, screenwriter, and filmmaker.
David Marius Lorenz, born in Freiburg, discovered his passion for storytelling at an early age, initially through writing short stories and later by creating comics. His journey into the film industry began with internships on film sets in Munich and Vienna. He went on to earn a Bachelor's degree in 'Audiovisual Media' in Berlin and a Master of Arts in 'Screenwriting' at the Hamburg Media School.
David wrote and directed several short films that were screened at over 800 festivals worldwide and won around 100 awards. His life took an adventurous turn when he decided to work remotely, spending several years living in countries such as China, Colombia, Georgia, India, Indonesia, Iran, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Turkey, Vietnam, and others. These diverse experiences profoundly influenced his worldview and, in turn, his creative work.
The COVID-19 pandemic eventually brought David back to Germany in 2020, where he fully dedicated himself to writing. His efforts culminated in the nomination for a Student BAFTA, winning a Max Ophüls Award for Best Medium-Length Film, and receiving a Student OSCAR® in 2023.
