FILM AND PHOTOGRAPHY PROJECTS
Philipp Schmidt is in a constant process of elaborating new concepts and deducing conceptual stories from ideas and visions. Thus he not only conctructs the story lines, cinematic settings and complex characters, but also the visuality of the concluding product.
Philipp Schmidt is capable of assuming substantial tasks in all domains – behind and in front of the camera. He takes pictures and shoots entire short films himself or in cooperation with professional teams. Depending on the extent of the project, he administrates the whole pre- and postproduction by himself or in close collaboration with professional team associates. Being engaged in bigger projects, his access to a sorted and Germany-wide pool of creative freelancers is often appreciated. The core team at his disposal consists of a talented cam-operator, a gifted componist and a competent sound engineer.
Projects are permanently in progress, all resulting in ready-made short or long films. Film projects are strenuous and tedious at times, so while some are being conceptualized, others are being actively produced. You will find an assortment of his own projects in progress here, some might be finished already.

FILMPROJECT

A place in the far northern hemisphere between forests and mountains holds a concealed valley in which dreams and reality seem to merge with one another.

Further information soon to come.
INTO HEAVEN
FILMPROJECT
AUTHOR, DIRECTOR AND LEADING ACTOR
INTO HEAVEN takes the audience into a gloomy Europe, in which old myths are vivid and sinister cults endeavour their vision of a quite different world.
During a cruel series of murders, investigator and ex-officer Phelan Draug unravels a conspiration trail leading to corporation and government representatives, who in turn instrumentalize a diabolic cult for their purposes.
Further information soon to come.

PHOTOGRAPHICAL PROJECTS
PHOTOGRAPHY OF CONCERTS, PORTRAITS, LANDSCAPES, ADVERTISEMENT AND SCENIC IMAGERY
While being in conduct of a production, Philipp Schmidt is not only producer or actor, but often occupied as executive photographer as well. The production of useful image material covers posters for film projects or still photographs. He also engages himself outside of film projects and the adjoined scenic photography in order to develop interesting footage in very different genres, such as event, concert, architecture, landscape, advert and portrait photography.
Thus, in addition to the development of a concept, he offers a complete set of photographical material.
