Mariahil's creative genius: Jan Frankl shapes Vienna's cultural scene!

In the pulsating streets of Mariahilf lives a creative mind whose versatility significantly enriches the city's cultural life - Jan Frankl. The Graz native has made a name for himself as a photographer, actor, director and screenwriter and shapes the cultural face of Vienna with his projects. His path began at the tender age of five, when he immersed himself in the world of media with “Licht ins Dunkel”. Over the years, Frankl has acquired extensive self-taught knowledge and is now considered a creative all-rounder. His work ranges from stage productions to portraits of prominent personalities such as Greta Thunberg, Alexander Van der Bellen and Arnold Schwarzenegger, which ensures him a special place in the Viennese cultural scene, as meinbezirk.at reports.

For Jan Frankl, his home in the 6th district is more than just a place to live – it is his “extended living room”. This is where creative minds find inspiration for their projects. He has been working closely with the Josefstadt Kammerspiele for 15 years and creating previews for new stage productions. His most important works include his participation in “200 Years – The Hektiker” and the ORF series “We State Artists”. The fictional series “Dave”, which was produced for ORF and bought by Netflix, is also an impressive part of his work.

Artistic commitment and gut feeling

Frankl is a man of gut feeling, which serves as a reliable compass for him. “I trust my instincts,” is how he describes his approach, which helps him to successfully navigate the fast-moving cultural scene. In addition to his creative work, Frankl also sees himself as a consultant and has worked on numerous formats such as “Ostrowski goes on holiday” and “The Cabaret Games Night”. These projects not only underline his commitment, but also the diversity of his work.

Aside from his artistic work, Frankl is also concerned about data protection. On his website he adheres to legal regulations, such as the GDPR and the TKG 2003. For example, he records access data for every website visit in order to maintain the user-friendliness and security of his site, as explained on janfrankl.com.
