Being filmed

Formentera, May 2023

It started already about a month ago in Berlin, when a team of a german public television broadcasting company had began to follow me with the camera for a documentary film about my person and my particular way of dealing with Parkinson.

In Berlin, they filmed during the neurologist‘s visit when talking about the new start of medication treatment. Aswell, they came to a specific box training amongst other Parki-Buddies called neuro-boxing. And, of course, to my mom‘s place.

The team consisted of three guys -director, camera and sound- enjoying very much the idea of shooting for five days on Formentera for this project, a month later. Although it was a big challenge to let a camera from the outside world into my private daily life, I somehow enjoyed those intense and demanding five days. No clue why I did it, but as committed, I had to continue fulfilling my duties. Probably, it was just curiosity again to try out something new! Poor Deborah, my mom and Stefano. They were not that curious but got highly involved in this, being interviewed and filmed. I apologize for the intrusion.

Nevertheless, the guys were discreet, sweet and easy to hang around with. They left the island with a nice sun tan and a very relaxed mood, to come back in august/september for the finishing shoot.
