Sebastian Schnabel is a German writer and director. He grew up in a small rural town in Northern Germany. At age 8, he started shooting his first short films with his father's camera. 15 years later, in 2014, he moved to the United States to pursue a career in filmmaking. He is fascinated by the cultures in which we are raised, exploring how they shape our perceptions of self and of others. The worlds of his films are often dark and absurd, but the shared vulnerability and search for identity of his characters offer warm moments as they meet and affect one another. During his first visit in the US, he met his now wife and filmmaking partner, Cici Yixuan Wu. They live in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
