Born in 1989, Marvin's dedication to film started when he was a young teenager.

While traveling with friends on skateboarding road-trips he was responsible for catching the best moments on tape

...maybe because skateboarding itself simply wasn't it...who knows...

His love for cameras intensified when he was working as a sailor on container ships around the world, for three years.

Only him & his camera, isolated from the rest of the world at the age of 17.

He got used to handling complex tasks with great responsibility during his work in maritime business.

Fun-fact: He is allowed and able to steer most types of ships until today.

While always following his passion for filming, he finally managed to step out of his employment

and started his own business in 2012, where he integrated his knowledge and experience.

Music videos became his first commissioned jobs where he developed his own tonality and precise communication

in cinematography & directing, while producing most jobs himself & support of others.

After stepping into directing commercials, he collaborated with international brands like

Nike, Hugo Boss, Google, Philips, Volkswagen and characters such as Adrien Brody, Cara Delevingne, Karolina Kurkova and Winnie Harlow.

Today, Marvin is a master of creating energy on set. Besides collaborating with all departments in great detail,

supporting everyone to tune into the energy & frequency he resonates with is essential for him.

He loves to work efficiently, does not like leaving unused time behind and always brings drive & flow to set,
