Together with director Thomas Imbach, he wrote the English-language screenplay for the movie Mary Queen of Scots (2013). According to his own statements, he waited until 2006 to publish his doctoral thesis at the request of the Dominican Order because it dealt with “very delicate processes” within the theological faculty of the University of Friborg (Switzerland) from the 1960s to 1980s “in some detail”. For his dissertation, he held a block seminar in English (“ Rise and Fall of Thomism in the 20th Century ”) at the Gaming College in April 2006 . In 2007 he held a block seminar on comics, animation and philosophy at the Istituto di Filosofia Applicata of the Facoltà di Teologia in Lugano (Switzerland).

In 2014, the documentary series Wo Grafen Schlaf was shown on Servus TV , which is based on his book and in which he and actress Jessica Schwarz lead through a total of 14 different castles in Germany and Austria.
