About the Author
My name is Leonard Sanftenschneider. I'm a young screenwriter from the Ruhr-area in Germany and have been enthusiastic about telling stories for as long as I can remember...
​
This enthusiasm has eventually expanded to screenplays through my love of film and from 2017 - 2019, to learn more about the film industry, I studied film production at SAE-Bochum, Germany.
Since graduating, I have been working on my own concepts and screenplays and was nominated for the Young Screenwriter Award of the Crime-Television Festival in Wiesbaden in 2022.
​
I particularly enjoy writing psychological thrillers, dramas and comedy.
