ABOUT
MARKUS PLAWSZEWSKI
DIPL. DIRECTOR & WRITER
COMMERCIALS AND CORPORATE FILMS
I love this quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson and I try to apply it to every project I work on. Today, more than ever, there is a great need to stand out from the crowd. If you want to bring a message across, attention is the name of the game in the digital media age. Working as a writing director for over 15 years, I am passionate about creating stories and crafting films that stand out. Films that capture the individuality of a person, a brand or a product in an exciting and creative way. Individuality is the greatest – and often overlooked – asset to differentiate.
Having initially trained and worked as a scientist, I understand complex topics and enjoy breaking them down and extracting their core. At the well-known Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg, where I studied directing, I gained the skill to deliver these key messages in a way that resonates with the targeted audience.
I work for a number of leading agencies in Germany and abroad. I am entrusted to work with their most senior clients; e.g. Oddity Waves (Stuttgart) for Bosch and Trumpf, KG Media Factory (Munich) for VW Triton and Audi, fischerAppelt play (Stuttgart | Berlin) for Mercedes-Benz & DB Engineering & Consulting, mmpro film- und medienproduktion (Berlin) for ABB & Bilfinger SE.
“Markus shows 100% commitment to all of his projects.”
“Markus works diligently and with passion.”
“Working with Markus for over 10 years,
helped us to achieve excellent film results.”
“The collaboration was great from the very first minute!”
I convert ideas into concepts and detailed storyboards. I direct after meticulous preparation. And then accompany the postproduction process to make sure that the vision will become a reality.
STRATEGY
Do you want me to get involved in an early stage of a film project, a campaign or a pitch? I can help you to strategise and – working along with you – to set-up the project for success right from the start.
QUALITY
I always put 100% into every single film I am involved into make sure the final product is showcased in the best way possible. To achieve this goal, attention to detail is a prerequisite.
CREATIVE APPROACH
The secret sauce, however, is the story. Is the story good, it makes the audience to engage with the film in a postive way. It helps to shine a light on a person, a brand or a product.
