WELCOME
I'm Thomas, born in Germany,
based in West Cork, Ireland, and working
wherever the journey takes me.
With more than 15 years experience as a
1st AD I streamline schedules, budgets and teams so directors and production companies can focus on what matters most: achieving their creative vision.
Why me?
Filmmaking is chaos. Long hours, unforeseeable problems, high pressure and always not enough time. One has to be a bit crazy to stay in the business. But every time a new project is on the horizon, I'm excited to start again and to throw myself into it.
​
Why? Because I love films and I love filmmaking. Helping to execute the director's vision within the production´s boundaries is what I thrive on.
What a good AD helps you with:
Execute the vision
Stay in budget
Keep it all safe and respectful
What a bad AD can cause:
Chaos on set
Budget overruns
Safety risks
AD'ing a project is a bit like playing Tetris: you're constantly given pieces that don't seem to fit, coming at you with ever-increasing speed and it's your job to make sure everything clicks into place.
It starts with building the schedule and continues with running the set. Everything must fit together seamlessly.
​
That's the challenge - that's the joy.
Thomas is a top professional and very very good at what he does. I always felt that we were on the same team from day one and that he cared for the project.
