At the beginning of 1993 he began his film directing studies at the University of Film and Television in Munich, which he completed at FEMIS in Paris . Several short and TV films followed in 2000 with the feature film Sumo Bruno, his debut in German cinemas. As a result, he switched from real film to animation and, as a co-founder of Ambient Entertainment , started building up the studio for computer animation in Hanover. As a producer and director, he brought the first German computer-animated feature film Back to Gaya to cinemas through Warner Bros. In 2008 he switched from digital film pioneers to start-up entrepreneurs and founded Zoobe message entertainment GmbH in Berlin. Zoobe developed the first voice messaging app with animated characters. The aim was a new, entertaining filmic form of mobile communication using animated avatars - so-called Animojiis . By 2016, over 250 million personal zoobe videos were made by users worldwide and sent on mobile messaging channels. When the iPhone X was launched in 2017, the Animojiis were one of Apple's three new standard features .
