Client experiences:

Danny Burns

Programme Director at Institute of Development Studies (IDS)
„Tobias was a joy to work with. His professionalism, attention to detail, and constructive responses to feedback were exemplary. His ability to quickly grasp what we were trying to do was really important. We think that the film he made, captured the complexities of a very sensitive subject – conveying both the sobering nature of children’s working lives and the inspirational work that they were able to do. We are extremely happy with the collaboration and will certainly look for opportunities to work with Tobias again.“
Julieta Tourne

Head of Communications and Brand at Fairtrade International
“If you are looking to tell your organisations’ story in a way that is moving and people will remember, you are at the right place. Tobias is both able to develop a strong concept and long-term vision, while also zooming in and paying attention to every detail. From the music that it is used, to the last frame your audience will see. Bonus: he is fun to work with.”
Mohamed Aly Diabaté

Documentary filmmaker, Photojournalist, Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire
