PRINCESS AMAKHOE (2025) some excerpts of my first documentary short. Created during a beautiful collaboration with my friends @ama.khoe and @maxime.michelet in the south-west of Germany. colorist @imriagmon additional sound design & sound mix @leroinel title design @bananiiya @ananigram production @offshoot_berlin all the rest @memyselfandi PRINCESS AMAKHOE is a short documentary that playfully imagines a reverse colonial scenario, with a young Namibian leader exploring and assessing modern-day Germany. Accompanied by her photographer friend Maxime, Amakhoe tours Baden-Württemberg with ironic curiosity, echoing the colonial mindset once imposed on her own country. Their journey contrasts humor with historical trauma, questioning how deeply colonial thinking still shapes our perceptions.

YANE is an experimental video portrait of my friend @yaneloaiza . Like all of us in some way, shape or form she carries what some might call an imperfection. Yet, the way she moves on stage as a dancer, on runways as a model and through life as a person inspires me! This film does not aim to explain her, but to paint an audiovisual impression of how I see her in all her talent and beauty. Grateful for my collaborators 🫂 starring @yaneloaiza wearing @essai.project & @naomi.tarazi directed, shot & edited Markus Friedrich Spitta colorist @ilyamarcus @sec.color title design @semirbold @semircolon sound mix Felix Spitta @monkyman_music @offshoot_berlin @sec.studio (2026)

I had the great pleasure to create a video for @hanihape and her B’INI SUNSET SALUTE @hamburger_bahnhof for @berlinartweek It was the first time I was asked to work without any concept and create something that captures the way I personally experienced the performance. This film is also the first version of itself and was never touched again for feedback. Another first for me. I am forever grateful for the trust. It was such a beautiful and well executed production and the credits for that goes to all of the following people: artistic direction: Mona Stehle @monastehle performer: Alessio Cannizzo @cronica_d_anonimo_romano Artjom Gilz @artjomgilz Bajar Zedensodnom @zedensodnom Cajus Kesler @pelegosto Etienne Crovato @etienne.crovato Malik Blumenthal @malikblumenthal Marcofabio Girardi @amore19music Marek Asamoa asamoahoriginal Riccardo Contrino @riccardocontrino Samuel Schneider @samuel.schneider Stefano Rinaldo @stefanovegancalisthenics Steven Fast @steevsta music direction: Anna Liset @anna_liset event production: Nina Reese @nina_reese_ supported by: Lea van Acken @lea_van_acken , Ira Brinkmann @ira_brinkmann , Elias Wuermelig @thisislias , Tatjana von Oeynhausen @tatioeyn stage construction: Recom Art + @recom_art_plus @the_instaran @mariusposseik light design: Thorben Winkler @thorben_winkler apron production supported by: Lukas Trumpp @siprecis wardrobe supported by: Maximilian Mogg @maximilian.mogg Bellini sponsoring: Frische Paradies @frische_paradies

OBJ x OS*B (2025) this was without doubt one of my favorite projects to work on. A big honor to collaborate with my bb @jendrik.schroeder of course who directed and shot this piece in collaboration with the talented team of @obj.studio What is special about this film from an editing perspective is that everything you see, everything that looks like effects and all the visual elements are recorded in camera and we decided to treat the footage with only classic cuts in the edit room.

I had the honor to work on a music video with my beloved brother and oldest creative companion @monkyman_music . The first time we shot a film together I was 11 and he was 10 years old. Some of this footage made it into the video. It was challenging to create something from personal archive that can still be relatable to anyone watching and is not only nostalgic to family members. We might have managed. During this process I realized again what a privileged childhood I had. Privileged not in the sense of monetary wealth but because I was loved unconditionally and did not only grow up in a safe environment but was always fostered and supported by my family to do what I love: create. And to top it all off, I was granted 3 brothers to play and create with. All of who I love and respect more than anything in this world. And while I say this I am sad beyond words for all the families that are not able to live and appreciate their bond at all. Families that are wiped out, mothers who lose their children, brothers and sisters who lose their siblings. Every day. For no reason but greed and territorial interest of a very few men with broken egos and psychopathic characters. It’s impossible to imagine how you can get so disconnected from the very natural human instinct to love and protect life. None of this is normal and none of this is natural human behavior. Lastly, I congratulate my brother to this beautiful song which I understand as a reminder to not give up on love. If you are privileged enough to live safely around those you care for: practice gratitude, forgive yourself and others and never stop to believe in good. Without hope we are lost. Anyhow, enjoy watching/listening and give thanks to the little team behind the project. video dir/shot/edit 👨🏻‍🍳 gaffer @jendrik.schroeder colorist @adriaphtc prod @offshoot_berlin thanks @this.is.schmutzler music artist @monkyman_music solo @ibongoitia.izagai choir @sibasmusic @iralirod @voila_el @ibongoitia.izagai @drew__deal @hannah @jenni

An interface is more than the space in between, it explores the convergence of digital and physical identity. It is a point in time where two worlds collide. It has its own region, a double-sided skin. OBJ.Studio and offshoot*berlin investigate this intersection in an experimental video short at the conjuncture of experience design and film production. Together they explore interface as a space of relationship with matter around us and identity itself. They overcome the nation of the future as bodiless rationalities by interpreting interfaces as genuine matter and project a corporeal future, blurring materiality with the imaginary. Working with 3d holograms, shot on analog tape, without any VFX or grading, and blurred through sheer material and glossy reflections, they create an immersive trip into a radically realtional future. @obj.studio @offshoot_berlin How does it feel?

KIMSWIM DIARY (2025) my dear friend @_kimswim_ asked me to join her on tour and create a film of it. It wasn’t really clear what it would become but I decided to only take my smallest DV Camcorder along. I was a bit scared at first but the footage turned out amazing. Also, we had the best time together. Grateful for the trust as always. Titles: @semirbold (full film on youtube)
