After completing 7 semesters of medical studies, 2 semesters of graphic design studies, and several film internships, I pursued film studies at HAMM in Hamburg. Following that, I worked as an assistant to Herwig Goldacker (BVK) and conducted film lighting workshops. I also held several positions as a loader and camera assistant for feature film productions at Studio Hamburg, NDR, ZDF, and commercial film productions including MARKENFILM. Eventually, I shifted my focus more towards editing (Vincent TV) and directing (assistant director to Fatih Akin / Volker Vogeler).
Between 2003 and 2016, with my first company Art Castel GmbH (employing 6 full-time staff), I produced and directed over 1,000 commercials, being responsible as a director and cameraman for over 500 of them.
