New work.

A little story about how fragile happiness really is.
About the moment you don’t see coming.

This one was close to my heart. ❤️

First and foremost, thank you to the team at @ruv_de for your trust: @norman_arne , Anne, Alex and Michael.

@leandros.ch , @sir.udo.schaefer and @tanjafrohwerk thank you for going through countless script versions with me.

@stefan_bakeryfilms , @christiane.bergmann.7 and @laarsbutnotleast for your constant support.

@mortihochberg for the sensitivity behind the camera.

@susiloosstyling for such great costumes and a fun fitting.

Ketes, @marcos.defortuny.94 and @isabeldefortuny at @fmlyprod for creating a space that felt like home.

@030ring for helping me bring all the pieces together.

@maxjulianotto for planning every frame with me.

@ian_emeraldcity for music that truly gets under your skin.

@acht.studio and @benediktedgar — for the final touches and beautiful colours.

@ariel.santiago.zalazar for a wonderful set design.

And last but not least, this wonderful cast:
@franziskajunge.office , @pablosprungalaofficial , @_millacarlotta_ & Noam

Thank you for your trust!

Coffee time! I shot a film for @melitta_deutschland with @officialfredericklau and @annikalauofficial

Normally, this would just be the typical thank you to everyone who participated. But this project was truly special in every way. I was allowed to write scripts and fully express my humor—for that, I am very, very grateful.

I would especially like to thank Annika and Freddy —thank you for going along with my nonsense. 💜

And—so much trust from the customer side—thanks to @rabea_s_ , Ebba, Matthias, Ivan, and the whole team at @bt_brandtouch .

But even in the age of AI, it was very special to be on set with people, laughing, discussing, and bringing something to life together that couldn’t be planned in advance. That’s what we call human energy —and for that, I would like to thank you all. Each and every one of you, again and again.

More to come BTS…

Still buzzing from the experience of giving a storytelling workshop @atelier522 — not just as a writer and director, but simply as someone who loves stories with all their heart.

The place was incredible, the people even more so. So much creativity, openness, and curiosity in one room.

I’m grateful I got to share what storytelling means to me. It’s been a part of my life for as long as I can remember — ever since I was a kid, dreaming up worlds and characters in my head. Especially in times of AI, craft is the basis for stories of all kinds.

Thank you to everyone who was part of this workshop. You inspired me just as much as I hoped to inspire you.

What can I say. When @by.sophiawagner and I get our hands on an extra long Kabanos, this is what happens.

Thanks to everyone who took part in the little family trip to Mallorca!

New work - „You’re not alone.“
It’s not that easy to capture moments that feel real, that we’ve all seen before and not at all. But sometimes there’s this magic on set.
Rarely have we had so much fun, so much confidence, so much drive and enthusiasm right from the start.

Thanks to everyone who made this movie with us, stood with us in the rain and sweated by the sea.

Thank you @ruv_de for letting us do so much what we love: Being close to people, telling little stories that suddenly come to life. Special thanks to @norman_arne for this truly special collaboration and trust! 🤝

Thanks also to @leandros.ch , @sir.udo.schaefer, Tim Jacobs and @ogilvy_group_germany for your trust and dedication. Many thanks to @tanjafrohwerk and @heikewindfelder .

And of course @stefan_altona and @stefanjaehde and @laarsbutnotleast - smoothly produced by @bakeryfilms and @basproductiongram

A fantastic camera by @mortihochberg . We love your enthusiasm!

Great set design by @boninoenglaro ,
No more words needed. Love.

Super emotional music by DamienDamien
You have surprised us once again.

Sounds by @studiofunk .

Great colors by @maxbaule and thanks to @acht.studio for a smooth post production.

Hugs to @Facu who kept us in the editing room.🫶🏼

As always, nothing works without you @blacksummer_artists 🖤

And of course 🔥🧠✨

We shot a music video for @fritzkalkbrenner new single„Set you free“.
Thanks to all of you!
Link in bio.

The film depicts four characters „deep listening to themself“. Stuck in layers of wants. They grasp the moment of running away, freeing themselves and thereby letting go — Of a situation, of someone, something or themselves. What flashes up are inner conflicts that are disguised as daydreams and abstractly illustrate their confrontation with the Now.

Once they are free of covering layers, naked, they arrive in reality, meet people on a similar path and arrive with them. In a place that keeps neatly sorted what they have left behind.

Sometimes you make a film and forget about it. And then it suddenly reappears and wins prizes.
Our "Mächtig Betrieb" - film for Deutsche Bahn, together with @belly_creative_studios and @thebeautyaside won gold at the BDKom, FOX and Bcm Awards and is nominated mightily further.

@sophiawagner.pdf and I interviewed Deutsche Bahn employees in Berlin and surprised them emotionally in a special environment. We are very happy!

Thanks to all, this was really a special project.
