About me

I am a filmmaker from Germany currently living in London. Experienced in working with and leading international teams. Always looking for the core of the narration, I am focused on delivering a result that honours the craft of every department involved but puts the story first. As a film shouldn't be dictated by software I use a broad range of NLEs, involving excellent knowledge in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Avid Media Composer. To round up my expertise I have a professional knowledge of After Effects in the topics of motion graphics, compositing, image manipulation, and animation. As a filmmaker you have to wear many hats. I gained excellent knowledge as a cinematographer using the Sony FS7, A7SII, Panasonic GH5 and Canon Cameras with a variety of grip gear. Shooting with small crews gave me the possibility to collect a profound knowledge of on-set sound, lighting and working with talents. I was able to pass on my knowledge to an international group of students and gained experience as a teacher for digital filmmaking.
