About Johannes Krug
Johannes Krug is an award-winning aspiring German filmmaker. After a year abroad in Ghana and a Bachelor in Audiovisual Media at Stuttgart Media University, he studied Directing, specializing in documentary films at the renowned Filmacademy Baden-Wuerttemberg. His documentary focus also impacts how he writes and directs his fictional films. He is married to the Ghanaian educationist Irene Selorm Krug. In his films, he takes a critical look at German and Ghanaian society while reflecting on his role in this world, sometimes seriously, sometimes humorously, but always with blunt, authentic honesty.
