„I make films about the caleidoscope of feelings we call life in all its beauty and depth.“
Asbirg Naranjo
Hello.
I am Asbirg.
I am a dreamer.
And a magician.
I create things in my imagination, write them down and create them in moving images.
I am a filmmaker. A dream maker.
My work is various - documentary, fiction, music video, fairy tales and drama.
My passions - people from all over the world, their stories and film. Born in 1987, I grew up on a farm. My journey spans continents, from Zurich to Pemba, London, ... to Münster.
Filmmaking is my compass, regardless of location.
My short films SELDA, FLORES and THE NEIGHBOR ignite fresh perspectives, evoke emotions, and liberate self-expression.
My mission is simple: stir emotions, liberate voices, and let stories reshape the world.
THE NEIGHBOR celebrated its World Premiere at the 2023 Long Island International Film Expo, Long Island, New York, and won the Best International Film.
I hold a degree in sociology, anthropology, film and photographic studies.
Currently I am working on my feature length debut ỌMỌ together with the writer and director Ulan Garba Matta.

On the german countryside the fates of Ada and James Kelechi, two Nigerian refugees, intersect. Through the ups and downs of life, loss and unexpected reunions, they learn that the search for a home and a better future is often a balancing act – between the dreams that drive them and

ỌMỌ is a touching tale about striving for a better life and the power of humanity in the midst of life’s adversities, inspired by a true story.
