Jan, born (1980) and grown up in the "Ruhrgebiet", started his career with a Skateboard and a MiniDV cam. After school and some years of Skateboarding he decided that this "filmthing" should be the right buisness for him. So he met some people, made some shortmovies and did these obligatory interships, and a few years later he went to filmschool. He studied five years at the Filmacademy Baden-Württemberg, shot several shorts, commercials and documentaries, and finally graduated with diploma in cinematography (2011). Now, based in Berlin, he is working as DoP, quiet happy about the decision with this "filmthing", and he will never touch a MiniDV again. Promise!
