THE FOREST DARK is a movie project but it became more. It has become a journey into the otherworld, an exploration into an alien universe. The supernatural is supposed to be fiction, the figments of imagination turned into campfire tales. During the research of this project it turned out it is not.

Not only religions believe in the other realities, even modern science suggests the idea of an universe so alien, so different from our common idea of reality, it takes away our breath. We life in a forest dark and in the dark forest of our ancestors men met the indescribable, the unnamable and what appears to be alien but has been known in the deepest layers of human consciousness.

Follow the writer’s journey in THE FOREST DARK LOGBOOK and learn more about the idea of The Forest Dark and new developments of the The FOREST DARK FEATURE FILM PROJECT. Exploring The Forest Dark would mean for some people the individual search for the soul, for some it might be the quest for the holy grail, for others it is simply their way to God and sometimes it is about the challenge to understand what doesn’t want to be understood. It is about questioning reality, finding out about the true nature of events and the emanations of the otherworld in our everyday world, about numinous forces that exhibit themselves in many forms.

“The Forest Dark deals with my long lasting field trip into the unknown. It is about working on a project where the writer understood that sometimes a project is not a choice but a call of duty”.
