I am a freelance filmmaker and over the past 17 years I have taught myself all aspects of professional film production, working either as part of a team or independently. As a cameraman and editor, I have gained a lot of experience in different areas. I was responsible for the live wireless camera at Brose Bamberg's basketball national league home games for ten years and was able to produce event videos for Adidas in Herzogenaurach about the visits of international athletes. I also worked as a freelance editor and sound designer for the Fernfachhochschule Schweiz (remote). Since 2018, I have increasingly specialized in documentary filmmaking. My documentaries have received various nominations and awards at international film festivals. For "Reaping What You Sow" I was awarded for the best regional film at the Bamberg Short Film Festival 2018. "The Oxen Cathedral" received various honorable mentions and awards, including Best Documentary Short Film at the Rohip International Film Festival and Thilsri International Film Festival.

My ability to adapt quickly to different people and my communicative nature have always helped me when working in a team. In my work as a filmmaker with a wide variety of requirements, I also rely on my ability to grasp things quickly and my willingness to learn. A high degree of initiative is a matter of course for me.
