Create

The film dealer Leo Kirch (Kirch Group) had bought the slapstick stick ( Dick and Doof , Buster Keaton , Charlie Chaplin, etc.) in Hollywood for the European TV market and Martin Kayser-Landwehr learned editing tables for his father on Steenbek from the age of 16 Heinz Caloué, the expert on this slapstick film preparation for Leo Kirch and thus for German television, cut these celluloid films together by hand.

Martin later worked in the production of The Neverending Story for Brian Johnson (known for Alien and The Empire Strikes Back ) on the Specialeffect Team as assistant to Mike White (known for special effects in Enemy Mine , Flash Gordon , Lion Heart ) for cloud making in the Cloud tank unit.

After further professional experience in his younger years - like casting director of the casting agency Actors & Arts in Munich - he turned back to editing in 1992. In the SZM (broadcasting center) in Munich, he worked for PRO7, Kabel 1 and DSF as a video mixer, in trailer and magazine editing as a video cutter and he was also in charge of broadcasting for German sports television.

This was followed by a number of projects as a freelance senior film editor: two years in the advertising film industry, six years for MTV, three years for Vh1 and six years for Spiegel TV, among many other experiences, shaped his professional skills up to this point. Martin Kayser-Landwehr turned more and more to the documentary film and in the last 20 years edited 50 documentaries and worked in four countries.
