EXHALE

Benno Blome

I began my creative career as a DJ, music producer and label operator. Between 1997 and 2018, I was actively involved in shaping the electronic music scene and developed a keen sense of dramaturgy, atmosphere and rhythm - elements that would later influence my cinematic style. In 2018, I began a bachelor's degree in Film & Motion Design at the BTK - University of Applied Sciences in Berlin, which I completed in 2021 with a Bachelor of Arts. As a video producer for the music label Bar25 Music, I created audiovisual concepts and music videos from 2019 to 2022. This work was my entry into the world of film. From 2021 to 2022, I also completed the Screenplay Masterclass at FilmGeist in Berlin to further deepen my knowledge of script development and dramaturgy. Since 2024, I have been concentrating more on my own cinematic works with artistic aspirations. In 2025, I made the narrative short films Somnambul and Exhale, in which I deal with the inner conflicts of city dwellers. My focus is particularly on female perspectives. My cinematic style is characterised by innovative narrative forms, empathic character development and a conscious use of audiovisuality.
