Live and act

Benjamin Quabeck initially wanted to be an actor and took part in plays at elementary school. When he was twelve years old, his father bought a Video 8 camera, which he was always happy to “borrow” so that he could shoot his first little splatter films in the basement . From 1996 he studied directing at the Film Academy Baden-Württemberg Ludwigsburg. In addition to his studies, he worked as a freelance editor.

Quabeck already gained more attention with his debut film Don't regret anything , which is based on his novel of the same name.

In addition to his work as a film, television and video clip director, Quabeck writes and stages radio plays for WDR , sometimes in collaboration with Lee Buddah , who also composed the music for his two feature films.
