Nach ersten Projekten in Los Angeles arbeitet er heute in Wien als freier Regisseur und Videokünstler für Auftraggeber aus Kunst, Kultur und Wirtschaft. Sein filmisches Schaffen beschäftigt sich häufig mit Themen wie Machtstrukturen, emotionalem Missbrauch und Männlichkeitsbildern. &nbsp; &nbsp; Zu seinen Arbeiten zählt u. a. der experimentelle Tanzfilm I Will Break Your Face, der 2023 beim Queer Shorts Vienna Film Festival ausgezeichnet wurde. Darüber hinaus arbeitet er am Kurzfilm Die Liebe Deines Lebens, der narzisstische Täterstrategien und die Opferperspektive ins Zentrum rückt. &nbsp; &nbsp; Derzeit entwickelt er auch seinen ersten Langfilm Gabi, der emotionalen Missbrauch in Beziehungen und die Kraft weiblicher Freundschaften thematisiert. Mit dem Projekt nahm er 2024 an der Drehbuchklausur Kitzbühel teil. Parallel arbeitet er an Ben antwortet nicht, einem Film über männliche Sprachlosigkeit, fragile Männlichkeit und emotionalen Verfall. ︎︎︎Selected works 2019-2023 <img width="1350" height="1800" width_o="1350" height_o="1800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/350e5aaab351879c92de5920d08581529e805857cef8e3cbe9b13ed1cf0b5de0/michael_portrait-2.jpg" data-mid="181710383" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/350e5aaab351879c92de5920d08581529e805857cef8e3cbe9b13ed1cf0b5de0/michael_portrait-2.jpg" /> Photo by Rafaela Proell ︎E-Mail︎︎︎Instagram https://michaelneulinger.com/Works Sun, 11 Jun 2023 10:59:10 +0000 Michael Neulinger https://michaelneulinger.com/Works Selected Works 2019-2023 I Will Break Your Face <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/125b31411910da48ce9c2dda077d0afbe2f21e570e0be0c859c27a7b67d10695/Breakface_Grading_01.00_19_47_08.Still032.jpg" data-mid="181712060" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/125b31411910da48ce9c2dda077d0afbe2f21e570e0be0c859c27a7b67d10695/Breakface_Grading_01.00_19_47_08.Still032.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0c74c5fbe17c71afb751784fdb7d4148a1afe9c4a0851f1c9ef62a0299692c8c/Breakface_Grading_01.00_20_20_10.Still034.jpg" data-mid="181712062" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0c74c5fbe17c71afb751784fdb7d4148a1afe9c4a0851f1c9ef62a0299692c8c/Breakface_Grading_01.00_20_20_10.Still034.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/26d0d8200a5a8ef8a4913f3763b099c01fe8f8747b33c59b3ea4cf9bece36001/Breakface_Grading_01.00_17_26_10.Still017.jpg" data-mid="181712063" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/26d0d8200a5a8ef8a4913f3763b099c01fe8f8747b33c59b3ea4cf9bece36001/Breakface_Grading_01.00_17_26_10.Still017.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0eeb122887fb3698b2700083f89487763fb6fdd0647ec886cff4079c9cd4b67c/Breakface_Grading_01.00_19_07_10.Still027.jpg" data-mid="181712065" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0eeb122887fb3698b2700083f89487763fb6fdd0647ec886cff4079c9cd4b67c/Breakface_Grading_01.00_19_07_10.Still027.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/34daa9454ec5489dfdd493bc063b9db9a8243bdb8d97015fd67f346df1b93192/Breakface_Grading_01.00_19_26_19.Still029.jpg" data-mid="181712064" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/34daa9454ec5489dfdd493bc063b9db9a8243bdb8d97015fd67f346df1b93192/Breakface_Grading_01.00_19_26_19.Still029.jpg" /> Intimate partner violence is often primarily discussed and analyzed in the context of heterosexual relationships.

Sarah yearns for physical and emotional intimacy in her relationship with Peter. However, directly asking for it doesn't seem like an option. Peter, on the other hand, does his own thing, oblivious to his girlfriend's desires. It's only in secret that Sarah finds herself, if only for a moment.

Sarah yearns for physical and emotional intimacy in her relationship with Peter. However, directly asking for it doesn't seem like an option. Peter, on the other hand, does his own thing, oblivious to his girlfriend's desires. It's only in secret that Sarah finds herself, if only for a moment.
