Filming Wraps on Jannis Lenz’s Feature Debut Freaks

Director Jannis Lenz (Wannabe) has completed shooting his first feature film, Freaks.

A conflict on the schoolyard escalates. Instead of facing the accusations of the adults, three outsiders increasingly seek refuge in nature, where they create their own rules and norms, far from society.

Filming took place in Stuttgart, Karlsruhe, and the Eifel region. The cast includes Florian Geißelmann, Mathilda Smidt, Anton Petzold, Godehard Giese, Britta Hammelstein, Sebastian Rudolph, and Ioana Iacob. The screenplay was co-written by Lenz and cinematographer Alexander Dirninger
