After graduating from high school, Rafael became an avid collector of film school rejections. Once he had them all, it was time to pursue other goals in life. Years of extensive soul-searching and occasional forays into semi-professional screenwriting followed, until he was hired to write independent German action comedy Plan B – Scheiss auf Plan A, which eventually got picked up by 20th Century Fox for cinematic release. Since then, Rafael has been working on a variety of projects, the latest being comedy web series FOOD-BALLS – FRESH, HOT & KNUSPRIG.
