    good contacts with various production companies (Constantin Films "ok, we now only need to find a film for you" - I followed up but nothing happened))
    at the time film production in Germany seemed to me as being in a low phase, poorly creative with about 30 films per year and the filmscores mostly made by the same 10 German composers of the time. I´m sorry I gave up looking into the branche and concentrated on live music
