Hi, I’m Peter Bölcz. I’m a film and commercial professional based in Hamburg, with over nine years of hands-on experience behind the camera, in lighting, and in post-production. I bring a strong understanding of filming, lighting, technical gear, and scripting to each project, and I enjoy collaborating with teams to bring ideas to life using both digital and analogue techniques. I’m passionate about storytelling through visual media and love exploring different formats—from on-set shoots to post-production workflows. I’m always curious to learn new techniques, experiment with lighting and color, and contribute creatively to every step of pre- to post-production to help clients achieve their vision.
