Director's Works
Meet Alexander Ronsdorf, a self-taught director and writer based in Berlin. Raised in a large family in the middle of nowhere, Alex turned film school rejections into fuel for his creative fire. His work captivates with deep, character-driven narratives that are fundamentally human, always reaching for deeper, transcendental meanings. Alex’s films have garnered international acclaim, securing multiple 1.4 gold and silver awards or a Director’s Notes showcase. His body of work includes the yet-to-be-released narrative short “Give Yourself a Try,” filmed in NYC, and the conceptual “No Man’s Land“, as well as commercials for Adidas, WhatsApp, Fielmann, Aldi, and more. Living in Berlin with his wife, Alex eagerly anticipates the arrival of their first daughter, continuing to find inspiration in every aspect of his vibrant life.
“No Man’s Land” captures the profound alienation and disconnection in modern metropolitan life, with Aaliyah feeling lost in a city that has become a “non-place”—a transient space where meaningful connections are elusive. Through introspection and her mother’s wise words, Aaliyah uncovers a sense of belonging and connection, transforming her perception of the urban landscape and beautifully exploring the rediscovery of community in urban isolation.
