... When i'm looking for a good director again, i know where to find him... thanks Jonas
Born in Munich and raised with a deep appreciation for art and creativity, Jonas’s journey into filmmaking began at the age of 13 with a skateboard documentary, Time to Be Alive. This project would later inspire the name of his video production company, Alive Films, which he founded in 2014. Specializing in branded content and documentaries, Alive Films has worked with iconic names like Porsche, Piaget, Richard Mille, and SwissWatches Magazine. These collaborations have taken Jonas from the cliffs of Mauritius to the dunes of Morocco, where he leads a trusted network of creatives to deliver cinematic storytelling.
In 2015, Jonas became Head of Video for InStyle Germany, diving into the world of fashion films in Paris. Despite success in this role, a failed attempt to complete a self-funded documentary in Agadir marked a turning point. He decided to refine his craft further by committing to academic studies, earning a bachelor’s degree in Art, Media & Design in Italy, a fine arts diploma in Munich, and a master’s degree in painting at the Royal Academy of Arts in Copenhagen.
