Carola Hesse
Additional qualifications / training / work experience
3 months runner for a trick film animation Studio in Kassel, Germany
3 months camera assistant for RTL Studio Kassel (a German TV channel
).
I am in contact with a documentary photographer who moved to India
in order to make photo documentaries about India's HIV/AIDS situation.
He convinced me to make a documentary film about this subject as well.
Therefore I have been planning for the last half a year to go to India,
in order to work on a documentary project over there. During my research
work I realised how much awareness work still needs to be done in
India and that the TV can be a very useful tool in preventing this
disease from further spreading
