I’m Niklas Braune, a screenwriter and filmmaker driven by one core belief: great stories don’t just entertain — they endure.
My work lives at the intersection of history, power, identity, and moral conflict. I’m fascinated by characters who are shaped by their time but struggle against it — outsiders, visionaries, rebels, and leaders caught between conviction and consequence. Whether set in the past or imagined futures, my stories explore the human cost of ambition, belief, and loyalty.
I write feature films and series, often rooted in historical or political contexts, blending grounded realism with strong cinematic tension. Stylistically, my writing emphasizes visual storytelling, sharp dialogue, and character-driven drama, with a clear focus on structure and thematic depth. Every scene is designed to move the story forward — emotionally, philosophically, or narratively.
My background in branding and storytelling strategy strongly influences my creative approach. I think in terms of narrative clarity, audience impact, and long-form vision. For me, a screenplay isn’t just a script — it’s a blueprint for a cinematic experience, with a strong identity and a clear voice.I’m particularly inspired by the legacy of classical cinema and bold modern auteurs — filmmakers who treat film as both art and statement. Their influence shows in my attention to pacing, atmosphere, and the psychological inner life of my characters.At the heart of my work is a simple goal:
to create stories that feel timeless, intentional, and emotionally honest — stories that stay with the audience long after the final frame.
