The Art of Being a Man The Art of Being a Man is the first film of Matthias Drawe. Drawe had limited funds and shot the feature with Russian black and white stock smuggled from East- to West Berlin. In order to pay for the stock, he used East German marks – a currency that was worthless outside of East Germany - inherited from his East German grandmother. Despite the meager funds ($5000 total), this small buddy-movie became a cult classic in student circles.
