Films
In the past, I have directed my own and supported my ownother short films.
Since 2023 I have been breaking new ground as a screenwriter and film consultant.
LOOK LIKE JACKIE
A fast-paced comedy-documentary where Korean-Dutch filmmaker In-Soo Radstake uses humor to explore Asian stereotypes, in particular the one attached to him: being mistaken for film star Jackie Chan. Mixing personal stories, re-enactments, comedians, and expert voices, he explores how identity and perception collide in unexpected ways.
Director: In-Soo Radstake
Research & Outreach Consultant: Thorsten Boose
Release date: late 2026
A DUDE CALLED OWEN
My first screenplay for a feature-length action comedy has been in 5th draft status since 2023 and is constantly being optimised for re-writes. I can’t reveal too much about the content at this point.
Open for negotiations. Not tied to any studio.

ELLEN UND ALAN
Ellen and Alan, both 16 years old and twins, have long been neglected by their work-obsessed mother, who never comes out of her study room.
For Alan, there is only one way to get her attention: He threatens to kill himself. In her helplessness, Ellen turns to her mother, who couldn’t be less interested due to her work frenzy.
The story of a young woman torn between the desire to be a child and the compulsion to be an adult.
