Shooting the World Beautiful

one scene at a time.
“Storytelling”Storytelling is an essential part of
KUNST& VERSTANDs DNA. Human beings’ innate, primal search for meaning is the birth of narrative. We impart meaning to the events we experience. Our personal identity is created through the story of our lives. It is this innate gift for narrative that as filmmakers we recognize and source for our work.
KUNST & VERSTAND are storytellers, working in the medium that has the most impact and relevance for today
“mystery of filmmaking”We at KUNST UND VERSTAND love the mysterious aspect of filmmaking. Having to embrace the uncertainty of the creative process is challenging and exciting. The “not knowing” forces us to dig deep and be fully present in every part of making a film. Some filmmakers describe this mystery as connecting with the subconscious, others talk about tapping into the “cosmic slipstream”. For us, embracing the mystery means creating a powerful and consistent dialog between our heads and our hearts. Between the intellectual concepts we're exploring in the film and the emotional connections we're feeling
“teaming up”We at KUNST& VERSTAND believe that filmmaking is a team sport, with collaboration at it’s heart. The role of our Director is to lead this team in all creative decisions, guided by a clear vision of the movie firmly established in his head. Therefore, a central task of the Director is to find a vision. Once created and known, this vision becomes the bright light that cast and crew follow through the dense fog of moviemaking.

So god will.

Deep Rooted

I have a passion to tell stories with moving pictures. Composition, lighting and camera movement combine to convey a sense of mood and emotion. The viewer’s journey during a movie is through the eyes of the camera, thus making every single shot extremely important. The ability to evoke the full spectrum of emotions by using pictures is the art of cinematography. I believe the choice of these pictures is what sets great cinematographers apart.
I believe that the language of film is under developed, and that there is great potential to take story telling with this medium to a new level. Audiences have been trained to accept a “visual language”. Certain picture sizes and angles mean certain things. Challenging the viewer to think about unusual pictures greatly interests me, and is a motivating part of my approach to photography. It is important that this approach accentuates and heightens the story telling process.
