HANS, THE DIRECTOR is developed, written and played by Udo Kier

Udo Kier was born in Cologne, Germany, in the last months of WWII. Moments after his birth the hospital he was born in was completely destroyed by a bomb. He accredits his mother for single-handedly saving her own life and that of her newborn baby. When he was nineteen, he moved to London to pursue his career in films, a career that is now spanning over 40 years and in which Kier has reached a cult status.

Has recently wrapped filming the short film "Werewolf Women of the SS" by Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez. He has appeared in over 180 films, from small low-budget art-house films to big Hollywood blockbusters. He was Warhol's Dracula and Warhol's Frankenstein. He has lived on London, Rome and Paris, and now resides in Los Angels. His trademark roles are those of lunatics, shady characters, murderers, johns and vampires. He has worked with directors like Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Paul Morrissey, Lars von Trier, Christoph Schlingensief, Wim Wenders, Jerry Bruckheimer among others.
