Must I Write? features Hermann's last collaboration with legendary actor Dennis Hopper. In it, Dennis reads Letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Maria Rilke: a unique document of a great poet’s emotional credo for creativity.

For Dennis, Rilke’s Letters to A Young Poet was one of the most inspirational books ever written, and one of the reasons why he became an artist.

Must I Write? contains extraordinary projections, and is Hermann’s first collaboration with cinematographer Rain Li, who has worked with directors like Jim Jarmusch and Gus van Sant.
