B.A. Medien- und Eventmanagement
“More than 30 years of experience as a writer, director and cinematographer/DOP in film and television productions. From current reporting to the staging of music clips, the stage design and lighting of concert stages to commercials and feature films. But my passion is documentary film, straightforward reportage, investigative journalism and television documentaries. Twenty years of travelling halfway around the world have changed my view of it. Mainly in the crisis-ridden countries of Africa, the Middle East and Afghanistan, but also in the vast expanses of Mongolia and China and the rich cities of Europe. USA and Europe.”
