What can a knock at the door teach you about storytelling?

When we began adapting an Australian television series for Germany, small cultural details created distance between the story and its audience.
Once we could shape the stories around the world of our German viewers, the daily audience grew from approximately 600,000 to six million.
The shift began with perspective.
Story Alchemy helps you connect the truth within your story with the world of the people you are here to reach.

Look, what, what did I do? Where am I coming from? Um, way
back in the last millennium, I studied, um, theater and communication science at uni in
Munich. and was about to become a theater director, but then I had to go for moving
images. So I went to New York Film School and then I started to work for a broadcaster.
And ever since, I produced more than 500 and I think 550 hours of German TV.

I was going to become a theatre director. Then moving images stole my heart. 🎬
That decision took me from studying theatre and communication science in Munich to film school in New York—and eventually into television, where I produced more than 550 hours of German TV.
Along the way, I learned that powerful stories don’t happen by accident. They are shaped to make people care, connect and keep watching.
In this excerpt from my conversation for the Online Business Growth Summit, I share where my storytelling journey began—and how it led me to the work I do today.

“A film is never really good unless the camera is an eye in the head of a poet.” — Orson Welles
Technique is craft. Emotion is poetry. Great filmmakers master both. 🎭
