about

Kay, born in the early 80s, spent his formative years in the vibrant city of Frankfurt, Germany. His journey led him across continents, embarking on studies in the picturesque landscapes of New Zealand. It was here that he honed his craft and gained invaluable experience as a Post-Production Runner on the monumental project, KING KONG, at the prestigious WETA DIGITAL.

Eager to further refine his skills, Kay's path led him to the esteemed Filmakademie Baden-Wurttemberg. The yearning for knowledge and creative exploration propelled him to cross oceans once again, as he participated in the illustrious Hollywood Workshop 2011 at UCLA, nestled in the heart of Los Angeles. In 2013, he proudly emerged from this transformative journey with a distinguished diploma in Commercial Directing.

Since then, Kay's directorial prowess has graced multiple national and international campaigns, enriching them with his distinct touch. Collaborating with global brands, ad agencies, and networks, his work has garnered recognition on esteemed platforms such as Cannes, the New York Festivals, ADC Germany, the New German Director’s Showcase, and the revered pages of Lurzer’s Archive.

The tapestry of his career boasts collaborations with luminaries including James-Bond icon Roger Moore, tennis virtuoso Roger Federer, melodic harmonizers All-4-One, Bollywood sensation Ranveer Singh, and Germany's own comedic luminary, Atze Schröder, among a constellation of others.

At his core, Kay's heart beats for the magic of storytelling, a passion that transcends mediums and formats. He reveres the realm of cinema and relishes the art of weaving narratives. Within this landscape, he has found his calling in the realm of commercials, a realm he declares to be the zenith of professions. Currently nestled in Berlin, he fervently dedicates himself to infusing his creations with his distinctive humor, idiosyncratic visual style, and unwavering focus on compelling characters that breathe life into his films.
