Victor Scholz – Journalism. Filmmaking. Writing.

Salut! I’m Victor—a filmmaker, journalist, and creative writer. I love facts and logic, but also opinions and satire. I’m especially passionate about French-German topics and anything that sparks curiosity and breaks from the “normal.” I want to experience something new every day.
