Adnan Köse

The Producer, Actor, Director and Writer Adnan Günter Köse (Adnan G. Köse), member of the German and European Film Academy, stems from a German-Turkish miner's family. After his A-levels he studied German Philology, History and American Philology at the Mercator University in Duisburg. At the acting school "Der Keller" in Cologne he studied acting and started his acting career at the city theatre in Oberhausen after his actor-diploma in 1992. In between theatre work as actor and stage director he focused on additional training as a screenwriter and filmmaker, both in Germany and the US, by attending seminars and workshops and made his debut film in 1999. "My friend Balou" was a TV road movie (ARTE / WDR) with Hannelore Elster and Günter Lamprecht in the leading roles. His most successful feature film up to date is the Anti Drug drama "Run for your life - from Junkie to Ironman" with Max Riemelt and Uwe Ochsenknecht as leading actors, produced by enigma film and distributed - like all his films - by Studiocanal. For JAKALE film production he worked in 2017 as Creative Producer and wrote the screenplay for "ENEME" (directed by Jakob Gisik) and as a casting director he cast the film with Udo Schenk, Thure Riefenstein and Adam Bousdoukus among others. "How the soldier repairs the gramophone" about the Bosnien war, produced by Enigma Film in co production with EPO Film (Theatrical Distribution: Pandora Film), is his next international movie as Writer and Director, which based on the bestselling-novel by Sasa Stanisic. He also founded the production company New Dakota Independent. The first fiction production of his young company is the short "The Degustator", directed by newcomer Jochen Isensee.
