I  was born in 1975 in Linz (Austria) as the granddaughter of Anna Mutter and Adolf Mutter, two reknown Austrian artists. At the age of sixteen I spent one year with a Russian host family in Moscow witnessing the collapse of the Soviet Union.

​

I studied law and translation (Russian, Spanish) at Karl-Franzens University of Graz (Austria), spent one semester with the Erasmus program in Valladolid (Spain) and wrote my thesis in law at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem on “Implementation of Human Rights on the Example of Freedom of Religion in Israel”.

​

I worked as an Intern at the United Nations Drug Control Program in Peru, which gave ground to my first documentary "Drugmothers". Since 2010 I have been working as independent producer, script writer and director of numerous feature length award winning documentaries, keeping my focus on humanitarian and social issues. I have given Masterclasses on Indie Film Making and been nominated jury member in several International Film Festivals.

​

I speak six languages, consider myself as a citizen of the world and believe that it´s never too late for having hope in humanity...
