Director Light & Sound Music

Jan Bartels

I have been passionate about producing crazy short films since 2010; I like writing exciting stories and then making them into films. So far I have won many prizes at international short film festivals, which somehow spurs me on to continue ;-) I always enjoy meeting people who are enthusiastic about short films too.. If you like, just leave me a message.

A few points about me and making movies:
* I finance my films out of my own pocket; there are no sponsors who support me, nor do I get any money from film funds, and there are good reasons for that:
* I do not like to have my script rewritten by strangers, and unfortunately that is exactly what happens when sponsors are involved. In the end, you have sold your soul and it is no longer your movie. I do not make movies to please others. I make movies that I like. And usually other people like them too ;-) And if they do not, that is fine, I can live with that.
* I am behind the camera, I take care of the production and everything around it. There are usually only two or three of us on set. The advantage of a small film crew is that we can shoot quickly and effectively. We have been doing it this way for many years and we know what we are doing.
* In contrast to many other productions, my actors can contribute artistically to their roles.
* I do not earn any money with my films, but it is also much more than just a hobby of mine. I put my heart and soul into it for 100%

Do you want to be involved too?


Maybe you had like to join my team and help with the production (would be great if you come from Munich or the surrounding area) or have exciting script ideas and are looking for a producer? Or you are an actor and would like to play in one of my movies? Just leave a message; I am open to many things.
