Autumn 2025 — New Films & Berlin Meetings
Hey everyone,
It’s been a busy and exciting year so far, and I wanted to share some of the new work I’ve been pouring my energy into. From Unreal Engine-infused urban adventures to cinematic journeys at sea, I’ve had the chance to push my creative boundaries and explore new territories. I’m also looking forward to connecting with some of you next week!
Taking Filmmaking to the Sea with Hapag-Lloyd
This year, I had my first adventure into tourism filmmaking with a massive campaign for Hapag-Lloyd. We shot on the beautiful cruise ship MS Europa, and it was a unique chance to learn and experiment. I even flew to Sardinia beforehand to train in underwater filming and drone skills in windy conditions, which added a whole new dimension to the project. The final film turned out fantastic, and I’m really proud of this first step into a new genre.

Urban Exploration with VanMoof & New Tech
In contrast I had the pleasure of directing a new film for VanMoof, where we followed four riders in Berlin to capture the gritty urban energy of the city. This project was a chance for me to introduce some of the new techniques I’ve been exploring, including Gaussian splatting and using Unreal Engine for filmmaking. It was a really fun and experimental process that I think pushes the visual language forward.
Production Co.: Shelter Productions
Denim Campaign for Peek & Cloppenburg
Finally, I wanted to share one of the many fashion campaigns I recently directed for Peek & Cloppenburg. Fashion is my home turf, but this one really excites me. Also, be sure to take a look at the festive campaign on my website.

Let’s Connect in Berlin!
I’ll be attending the Ciclope Festival in Berlin from October 7th to 9th and would love to meet up. If you’re around, let’s grab a coffee during the day or catch up at one of the offsite parties in the evening. Last year was a blast, and I’m looking forward to another fun and inspiring festival.
Listen to the African Face, Colonial Tongue Podcast
I’m excited to share a passion project from 2024: the short film African Face, Colonial Tongue. While the film continues its festival run, you can dive into the story by listening to the companion podcast we created.
Find it on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your favorite podcast platform.
You can also watch the film’s trailer and learn more about the project at africanface.org.
