Stella Marie Markert

Stella Marie Markert, born in Berlin’s pre-gentrified Prenzlauer Berg to a Hungarian mother and a German father, spent a transformative year in Paris after high school before returning to Berlin. She worked in various film roles, including casting director, agent, and production assistant, before studying production at Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg, where she graduated in 2022.
Her first short film (as a executive producer), HOT DOG, screened at major festivals like Sundance and Clermont-Ferrand in 2019. She later participated in an exchange program with La Fémis film school in Paris. Her short film HANDBOOK FOR A PRIVILEGED EUROPEAN WOMAN won the Jury Prize from the German Film Academy. In 2021, she made her directorial debut with KROCKETPARTIE, a co-production with Arte and SWR. Her first feature film, DANKE FÜR NICHTS, was funded by ZDF Kleines Fernsehspiel and Medienboard Berlin Brandenburg and is co-produced by Filmuniversität Babelsberg KONRAD WOLF and Schiwago Film GmbH.
