Stefan Alexander Willner
Stefan studied the grass routes of film making at the school of fine arts in Kassel, Germany.
The filmmaking took him to the script and direction, camera, editing and final stage in the design of the work. Because he is often an actor and model, its main strength is the staging and performance management.
His work is very varied, ranging from short documentaries, development of formats, to the award-winning short films that were awarded, among other festivals, in the Short Film Festival of Los Angeles and the San Francisco Short Film Festival, where his short Aaton won the Special Prize to the Best Short Film in 2008.
An extract from his commercial productions demonstrates Stefan's versatility : Adidas, frontlineshop.tv, Hochwald, Impress, New Balance, Premiere und VW.
