Biography
Bastian Clevé has produced more than 80 full-length and short films in the United States and Germany and has won numerous awards for his work. He was previously Professor at the Film Production Studies Department at the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg near Stuttgart, and he has lectured on filmmaking throughout North America, Europe, Southern Asia, and Australia.
