I’m a German documentary filmmaker, video producer, and editor based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. With over 10 years of experience in Southeast Asia, I specialize in producing compelling, visually-driven stories across the region — from urban megacities to remote jungle locations.

I’ve created more than 150 films for international broadcasters like ProSieben (Galileo), Deutsche Welle, Kabel 1, ServusTV, and Red Bull TV. My work ranges from fast-paced pop-science formats to in-depth cultural explorations and visually stunning adventure pieces.

Through my company DocuSphere, I manage productions from concept to final cut — supported by a strong network of local assistants, camera crews, fixers, and editors across Southeast Asia, China, and India. Whether you’re looking for a reliable partner to shoot on the ground, conduct interviews, manage logistics, or deliver a polished final edit, I provide local insight with international production standards.

Let’s bring your story to life.
