Zimmer gesucht!

Storyline

Looking for a shared flat can be really difficult. You never know what the potential flat mate is like. But with a bit of luck, you might find the perfect match. And if you're even
more luck, he might even have a pencil for you...
Room wanted! - On their city safari in search of the perfect room in a shared flat, David and Laura meet the most bizarre flat mates imaginable. Between fortune teller and
life coach, conversations through cat flaps and a stoned near-death experience, the two of them stumble from one bizarre encounter to the next. “Zimmer Gesucht!” is a homage to the bizarre moments that everyone knows who has ever looked for a room in a shared flat.

About the film/director

Florian W. Friedrich was born in 1993 in Offenbach am Main. During his youth, he performed in several plays at the Young Frankfurt Theater. After graduating high school in 2013, he gained experience abroad working as an intern at the New Zealand Opera in Auckland and the Tim Bray Company production company. Back in Germany, he pursued a Bachelor of Arts in Media Studies and Media Practice with a minor in Sociology at the University of Bayreuth from 2014 to 2019. During this time, he created numerous audiovisual projects, including the documentary "Und jetzt sind wir da" which centres around the life of two young refugees and the comedy miniseries "Rommate Quest!". 14 He gained hands-on experience through several internships, including in the editorial department of Galileo. In 2016, he founded a company for training films and live show productions, which he ran until the start of his traineeship in 2019. From 2019 to 2021, he completed a traineeship at the Mitteldeutschen Rundfunk. He successfully finished his training with his documentary "Ich, 23, Priester". After the traineeship, he stayed with the MDR and has since worked in project management, as a social media expert for digital information, and as a commissioning editor for the Children and Family department.
