My name is Carsten Björn Göttel, born in 1984 (yes, like the novel), and I’m a writer and filmmaker from Düsseldorf, Germany.

Actually, I have a passion for everything creative, which tends to get me into all sorts of trouble, from street photography to music production or painting.

Especially since I realized that all arts share a kind of hidden structure, like a ghost in the machine, with echoes and patterns emerging across disciplines and through time. This concept is something I love to explore, usually working on multiple projects at once.

Right now, I’m focused on finishing my first English novel The Golden Deer, developing a few music ideas, and working on my second feature film.
