I’m Sebastian Kleppe, a Berlin-based filmmaker and video editor who enjoys turning ideas into polished motion and story-driven content. I’ve researched and developed visual language for clients, then filmed, edited, and animated marketing materials designed to help organizations grow—especially in education and community-focused partnerships. Across projects, I direct, shoot, produce, and mentor others, from lecture series and short-form social campaigns to podcasts and livestream programming. I’m comfortable moving between creative roles (graphics, direction, animation) and hands-on production coordination, using tools like Adobe Creative Suite and DaVinci Resolve to deliver clear, engaging results.
