About Doris Dörrie
Doris Dörrie was born in Hanover and studied theater and acting in California and New York, but then decided she’d rather be a director. In parallel to her film work (most recently “Cherry Blossoms and Demons”), she has published short stories, novels, a book about writing and children’s books. She holds the chair in Creative Writing at the University of Television and Film in Munich and regularly hosts writing workshops. She received the Grimm Poetics Professorship at the University of Kassel in 2020. She lives in Munich.
