Linz first completed a degree in film studies at the Free University of Berlin and the Sorbonne Nouvelle Paris III.

During his studies, he made the experimental short film The Finances of the Grand Duke Radikant Film (2011), which premiered in the Oberhausen Short Film Festival competition . In the mini-series Das Oberhausen Feeling (2012) Linz deals with the system of film funding in ten short films. His DFFB graduation film I don't want to be artificially excited , a satire about Berlin's cultural scene, was shown in the forum of the Berlinale 2014 and received numerous positive reviews. Linz was able to win the actress Hannelore Hoger for a day of shooting . He accompanied her to the citizens' party of Federal President Joachim Gauck , where she spoke to him. Linz describes the scene as a replica of a scene by Alexander Kluge , in which Hoger approached Willy Brandt at an SPD party conference.

In 2017, Linz began shooting his second feature- length film Weiterermachen Sanssouci , a satire about university operations. As in his previous films, the theater scholar Sarah Ralfs played the leading role. Carry on Sanssouci was premiered in the forum of the Berlinale 2019 , the cinema release followed in October 2019. Linz received production funding from the State Minister for Culture for the film, but not distribution funding.
