Our task was to create a film that underlines the multifaceted nature of this stunning place and encourages scientists and founders from all over the world to move to Berlin, settle in this remarkable environment, and shape the future of medicine.

»Old white men often don’t have happy endings«
For our MYP Magazine, photographer Maximilian König and I had the pleasure of meeting Austrian cabaret artist, actor and director Josef Hader for an in-depth interview and portrait shoot in January 2021.
Hader, who had performed the night before at Berlin’s Babylon cinema with his new stage program „Hader On Ice,“ explained to us in the interview why gray gentlemen annoy him, what Jörg Haider has to do posthumously in the teleshop, and why Europe is a construct to which one cannot have a purely enthusiastic relationship.

In the summer of 2021, we were commissioned by the Ludwigsburg-based production company Giganten Film with the press support for the TV film “Three Wheels, One Summer” (German title “Sommer auf drei Rädern”), a co-production with SWR, ORF and ARTE.
“Three Wheels, One Summer” is an entertaining coming-of-age comedy in which three extremely different characters embark on an adventurous road trip through the Swabian province. One almost said the word fast, but they are on the road in a Piaggio Ape. The small vehicle has only 11 horsepower—and can reach a top speed of 45 km/h.

In the first step, we developed the concept for a catchy key visual, which should sum up the character of the film and be suitable for various media applications: from the official film poster to use in social networks and integration in the media libraries of the co-producing TV stations.
In the second step, we realized the created idea and photographed the key visual at the end of July 2021 when cast and crew were filming in the Stuttgart area. Thanks to the support of producer Gerrit Klein, we were able to set up his own photo set right next to the film set, where we staged the Ape as well as the three main characters Flake, Kim, and Philipp. In this context, we also shot various character portraits for the broadcasters‘ media libraries.

In the third step, we created the film’s visual identity, designed the official film poster based on the final key visual, and conducted an extensive interview with director Marc Schlegel, DOP Mortimer Hochberg, and producer Gerrit Klein. After that, we created a comprehensive press kit to promote the film internationally.

In September 2021, we had the honor of realizing the very first image film of Atelier Goldner’s brand history. The international clothing company from Frankonia, which can rely on decades of heritage, addresses mature target groups in an appreciative and fashionable way.
For the video, we let two best-ager models experience the beauty of the Mediterranean island of Mallorca, celebrating their friendship and casually presenting Goldner’s spring/summer 2022 collection.

The spot was released in February 2022 and accompanied an extensive rebranding campaign conceived by Berlin-based K’UP consultancy, introducing the brand’s new slogan, “I feel Goldner good.”
Fun fact: With directing that image spot, Jonas made his grandma very proud—because she’s been a loyal Atelier Goldner customer for years, as it turned out.

Since the first spot significantly increased Goldner’s online sales figures, we were subsequently allowed to produce two more campaign videos: in April 2022 in South Tyrol and in August 2022 in the South of France.

In 2021 we realized a new brand campaign entitled „The time is now“ („Die Zeit ist jetzt“) for Deutsche Apotheker- und Ärztebank, developed by Berlin-based brand consultancy K’UP.
This campaign not only makes visible the diversity of individual lifestyles of people working in healing professions. It also sheds light on what these people draw their strength from and what is important to them in life. The core message of the campaign is that apoBank makes it easy for its customers to follow their vocation in order to have time for the essentials in life.

Over the course of the year we portrayed a number of extraordinary personalities from a wide range of medical professions.
While photographer Maximilian König was commissioned with the production of the key visuals and editorials and DOP Steven Lüdtke was responsible for the filming, director Jonas Meyer conducted in-depth interviews with the protagonists, developed individual portrait texts for the campaign website, and wrote personal voiceover texts for the 45-second short videos.

For Stern and MYP Magazine, journalist Katharina Weiß and I wrote down the moving story of Martina Geng.
In the summer of 1971, the then 19-year-old GDR citizen fell in love with a West German — and subsequently repeatedly felt the harshness of the SED regime. In 1992, three years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, Martina Geng experienced her own personal reunification: She met the West German again, for whom she still harbored deep feelings.

A collaboration between
Sven Marquardt, Nicholas Mockridge & Esther Perbandt
In the middle of 2021, we were asked by the Berlin Deschler Gallery to conceive and design the “Fleischmann” exhibition catalog. “Fleischmann” is a collaboration between director Nicholas Mockridge, fashion designer Esther Perbandt, and photographer Sven Marquardt. The multidisciplinary art project deals with the life and work of film and theater legend Volker Spengler, who forms the narrative starting point for a photographic series in three cycles.
Spengler, who died in 2020, gained international fame with the personification of the transsexual Elvira Weishaupt in Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s “In a year with 13 moons” — making him an early icon of the LGBTQIA+ movement. His life was shaped by great artistic deeds and a tendency towards intoxicating extremes.

Nicholas Mockridge examined Spengler’s life’s work and created the scenery, Esther Perbandt designed 15 costumes for the production and Sven Marquardt realized the image and light staging.
In addition to Volker Spengler, actors Alexander Scheer and Jasna Fritzi Bauer, characters from Berlin’s nightlife, young actors, Esther Perbandt herself and the fashion and art icon Countess Vera von Lehndorff aka Veruschka were cast for the ensemble.
