Stephan was born in a stormy night on a small cockleshell in the middle of the Baltic Sea, Germany. After school, apprenticeship and all that growing-up stuff he worked as a media design freelancer and editor. In order to tell his own stories, he decided to study commercial directing at the Film Academy Baden-Württemberg. There he shot several spec commercials and comedy shorts, some of them award winning. Since receiving his diploma in spring 2013 he lives in Berlin and continues what he loves most: directing commercials, editing documentaries and gigging fleemarkets with his upright bass.
