Ludwig Wüst (born April 29, 1965 in Germany) is an Austrian film director, scriptwriter and producer.

Ludwig Wüst grew up in Bavaria. He moved to Vienna where he studied acting and singing at the University of Music and Performing Arts. He has worked as theater director in Frankfurt, Berlin, the Opera Leipzig and in Vienna at the Wiener Festwochen before turning towards film. His first feature film KOMA (2009) raised a lot of attention from media and critics alike. Due to its realism, the style of his films has been compared to Michael Haneke, Ulrich Seidl or the Dardenne-brothers.^[1] ^[2] His film TAPE END (2011) was shot in a single frame lasting 60 minutes without a single cut. During the actual shooting, director Ludwig Wüst was not present at the set leaving the actors alone guided only by certain instructions.^[3]

The internet as a medium for film plays an important role in Ludwig Wüst's work. The theatrical release of his debut feature KOMA in Austria happened simultaneously with a world wide release as a video on demand on the internet.^[4] ^[5] For the short film PASOLINICODE02112011 Wüst went a step further in using the internet as a platform for films. On November 2nd 2011, the anniversary of Pier Paolo Pasolini's death in Ostia, the film had its world premiere exclusively on the internet. Later it was shown at film festivals and as a video installation at the Kunsthalle Wien.^[6]
