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.
