Matthias grew up in enclosed West-Berlin, super8 film curling around his feet due to his father’s obsession to record family history. Early on he started shooting stop-motion shorts, documentaries and a 30’ short in Super8 cinemascope at the age of 14 and finally got caught looking into a selfconstructed film viewer, seeing his grandfather playing crocket in the garden who had passed away a couple of months before.
After a brief dip into studying meteorology he got another offer to work in a commercial production – and never went back. Making his way through all the technical jobs behind the camera in feature and music video productions Matthias finally graduated as a DP from reknown Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg with over 20 shorts under his belt which had earned him a handful of awards and an Academy Award nomination as honorary foreign student film.
Based in Berlin and Buenos Aires Matthias has shot over a dozen feature films and some tv movies and commercials since then. Right now he lives in Berlin and Munich.
