Broadcast-grade editor + AI filmmaker. Documentary, social & AI cinematics.

I've spent over 25 years in the edit suite, most of them cutting documentaries, reportage and magazine formats for German public broadcasters like SWR, ZDF, Arte and 3sat. That's where I learned the craft the hard way — how to find the story in hours of raw footage, hold an audience through a 40-minute piece, and hit a hard broadcast deadline without dropping the quality bar. Pacing, structure and clean color grading are second nature to me by now.

More recently I've gone all-in on AI filmmaking. I run my own AI studio, Goldlab Synthetics, and recently finished "Druckverlust," an AI-generated sci-fi short — writing, generating and editing it end to end with tools like Runway, Kling and Midjourney, then finishing in Premiere and DaVinci Resolve. So I'm not a traditional editor who's nervous about AI, and I'm not an AI hobbyist who can't actually cut. I'm both, and that combination is still rare.

Crucially, I don't just make pretty visuals. My documentary background means I know how to illustrate talking-head and voiceover content with material that actually supports what's being said — the right B-roll, AI-generated scenes, and graphics that carry the information, not just decorate it. That's the harder, more valuable skill: turning a script or a presenter into a video that's genuinely clear and engaging to watch.

I work independently, I'm reliable with deadlines, and I'm fully set up to deliver remotely — long-form documentaries or fast-turnaround shorts alike. If you want an editor who brings broadcast-level polish and genuinely understands where content is heading, I'd love to help build your channel.
