Biography
Janna Nandzik is a German screenwriter, director, and producer born in 1980 in Oldenburg. She co-founded two film production companies with entertainer and actor Christian Ulmen at age 28, launching her career with the walk-and-talk sitcom The Snobs, which aired on ZDFneo for 18 episodes and followed three bon vivants in crisis during a golf outing.
Her directing debut came in 2012 with About:Kate, a German-French transmedia series on Arte exploring identity crises and digitalism through a 30-year-old protagonist; the interactive show won awards in Germany and Switzerland. After working as Creative Director for Tele5 in Munich, she returned to Berlin to write for multiple series, including the dark comedy Jerks on ProSieben and the teen drama Druck on ZDFneo/funk. She gained international recognition as a writer on The Empress, which won the International Emmy for Best Drama Series in 2023. She also directed the TV movie Die Innenministerkonferenz on ZDF, a satirical murder mystery written by journalist Jan Böhmermann and writer Carla Kaspari.
By October 2023, Nandzik was developing a six-part Berlin-set drama with Stefan Titze, creator of How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast), based on Elvia Wilk's novel Oval—a story about an empathy pill and its unexpected side effects on the city. Beyond screen work, she founded The School of Death in Berlin in 2017, a non-profit salon and club offering workshops and lectures on death and dying to integrate end-of-life conversations into everyday discourse. As a screenwriter, she balances narrative innovation with institutional cultural work. Born under Capricorn, her life-path number 2 reflects a collaborative, mediating sensibility evident in her co-founding ventures and ensemble-focused storytelling.
