Eine zweite Chance (2024)
A second chance for filmemaking? I do hope so!
I also went to the premiere of *A Second Chance* at the Passage Cinemas in Leipzig on May 4th because I was really looking forward to Stephan Taubert's new film. I wasn't disappointed in the least, the film turned out really wonderful! During the pandemic, he often said that he didn't want to make films anymore and that he had lost his love for it, but if you have the right people with you, it'll work out again! I am very grateful to have been able to watch this film last night and would immediately recommend it to everyone. Love, humanity and, above all, loyalty are among the points that make up *A Second Chance*. Not only romantic love, but also the love between father and son plays a major role. The actors all did a great job and the whole setting and editing was just great! Guys, watch this film and help Stephan and his team continue to make his works better known. 10/10.
Phantom (2018)
Stylish movie!
As you know, as a freelance filmmaker you have few opportunities to get funding, but Stephan always manages to make the best of the few resources available. "Phantom" clearly differs from his previous work in terms of style, presentation and story and that's very good! So he succeeds in a thriller, although in some points also like to 007, but it encourages to think and take care, because you will learn only in the last 5 minutes, who did it in the end. You really have to be careful because you would not guess who it really is.
Stephan sets his characters very strong and you realize how important character development is to him. The young reporter Madeline starts as an inexperienced scriptwriter, who is looking for her first big story and is changed by the events, while the young commissioner Wagner, whom Stephan plays this time, sometimes allows feelings from the hard, emotionless guy through her.
You really have a story - albeit not entirely new - that is captivating and thrilling, and the new actors Melanie and Stephan Finger are doing a great job! They are supported by great supporting actors who make "Phantom" a round thing!

Amerikanische Impressionen - Entdecken Sie den Westen! (2018)
Stephans best travel movie
I find it very amazing that a young man like Stephan Taubert can do so many good things out of nowhere. I know his films well and you can tell that over the years, it has gotten better as far as actors are concerned, technology and the whole end product itself. I also admire his attention to detail as he travels around the world. This is now his fourth travel film, which leads through the USA. From New York to Washington via Chicago through various national parks and so much more there to see. I think great and I hope to see a lot of his work in the future!
