Everything began with an idea. Project founder David Schellenberg had the dream to bring theater to rural areas in Germany, where you can't find theatres on every corner. So he thought, what better way is there then to put a theatre on a boat? One year later, after a very successful crowdfunding campaign, David and his team build a ship, wrote a play and organized a tour through East Germany. I followed the group on their first cruise.

Phenospex is a young company specialised in analysis of plant growth. Their main product is Planteye, a plant scanner which gathers growth information for a large number of plants.
Inspired by a TED Talk of Simon Sinek, we wanted to focus on Phenospex’ vision rather than just talking about their product range. Why do they do what they do? What is their motivation? CEO and founder Dr. Grégoire Hummel gives his personal insight.

In 2014 I travelled to Vietnam together with my wife for the first time. It’s a beautiful country with great spirit. The most impressive place we visited was Sapa, a mountain region up north, close to the Chinese border. We met lots of ethnic people from many different groups. Each one with their own culture, own dress code and even their own language. It felt like time traveling.
Hanoi and Sapa, 2015
In Sapa we were lucky to live with a very friendly family in a town called Ban Ho for a couple of days. They invited us in their home and we could participate in their daily life.




One day the whole valley was dipped into a foggy soup. Not so easy to ride a scooter in that weather.












During the first trip to Vietnam we travelled all the way from Saigon up to Hanoi with the famous coast train line. We did a couple of stop overs on the way.

Good education is key for success.
Today’s hospitals compete with each other like regular companies. The more important it is to find good staff. To give potential candidates a first glimpse of working at St Josefs hospital in Dortmund, we produced a couple of videos for St Lukas society in cooperation with Düsseldorf based agency designverign gmbh.
In this film Prof. Dr. Wolters gives an insight into the educational program. As head of surgery department he talks about cutting edge technology used in the operation room as well as his personal motivation.

It was in 2015 when we travelled to India. Starting from Udaipur we travelled by train up north to Jodhpur, Jaipur, Agra and finally to New Delhi. We tried to avoid the main tourist spots, however we wanted to see Taj Mahal in Agra. I was expecting a city specialised in tourist handling, far away from the real India that we were looking for. However, that’s where we had our most unexpected encounter.



We came back from a trip, when we discovered a small group of people celebrating one of the many Indian festivals. We asked the cab driver to stop and just a moment later we found ourselves in the middle of this group.

Between verbal clashes and blackmailing brinksmanship, a crusty old landlocked sea captain and his soccer-rowdy caregiver share their passions, lives and dreams. The command, "Bring me the sea!" must now become the youth's anthem.

Sweet Sea Breeze - or Süße Seeluft in german - is the bachelor project of Thomas Hessmann and me. The film took one year in production, ran in over 25 film festivals worldwide and won over 10 awards.

Being on tour with a band of 10 people from all over europe is as much fun as it sounds like. I followed the gang through germany and holland to produce this tour trailer.

How is digital technology going to change our lives?
Does it make things simpler or more complicated? What effects does it have on business? On politics? On everybody? These are just some of the many questions discussed and made accessible at INTERACTIVE: In talks and workshops, at hackathons and parties.
