Holding a Masters in Film Studies from Freie Universität Berlin, he writes screenplays for short and feature films, stage plays, along with poetry and prose. Arand published his first book, 'Gedankenschatten', a dystopian German language short novel, in 2011. Since then, he has shifted his attention toward writing screenplays. In 2013, he met director Juliane Block and the two developed a prolific working relationship. Arand first worked as a script doctor on Block's movie '8 Remains (2018)', released in 2018. He then wrote and co-produced Block's next feature film, '3 Lives (2019)', a psychological thriller starring Mhairi Calvey due for release in 2019. After finishing work on '3 Lives', Block and Arand moved on to develop the zombie horror film, 'The Curse of Hobbes House (2020)', shot in February/March 2019 and entering post production in March of the same year. Block's and Arand's next big endeavour is the Christmas adventure film 'Lyra's Wish: Saving Santa'. Arand lives and works in Berlin.
