UDO SCHUCKER
Born in 1960, studied theater, film and television studies in Bochum and Essen. At the age of fifteen he made his first short film on Super 8. Other short and feature films quickly followed. In the 1970s, his films mostly revolved around the youth scene in Bottrop. Here, together with other young people, he was constantly looking for meaning where there was none. Udo Schucker captured Bottrop in his feature films for almost the entire 70s and reflected on the dreams of his youth. In 1982 Schucker made his first professional short film: "As always". Produced by Michael Lentz and the Oase-Filmproduktion in Essen. Udo Schucker made a 16 mm film about the Mafia in 1984, with a small team that suddenly found themselves in the middle of the fierce Mafia war - and not just fictional ... His idol and role model Francois Truffaut died before a meeting that had already been arranged came at the age of 52 on October 21, 1984.
