About the project:

What does love feel like when you experience the world differently?

“Signals” is a romantic film about Lukas, a young man on the autism spectrum, who falls in love with his classmate Julia. What sounds simple becomes an emotional journey full of misunderstandings, vulnerability, and the deep desire to connect.

This feature film is a remake of my short film, which already touched many people:

Why this film matters:

Autism is often misunderstood. Many people only see stereotypes – but rarely the emotional reality behind them.

“Signals” aims to change that.

This film shows:

As an autistic filmmaker myself, this story is deeply personal. I’m not telling this story from the outside – I’m telling it from within.
