WORK WITH ME

I'm Patrick. German filmmaker and content operator, based in Chiang Mai. I run content systems for people who shouldn't be touching their own editing software, and I shoot films and documentaries when the project deserves real cinematography. read my full story →

INTRODUCING

SOULFRAME STUDIO

I lead your media team - so you don't have to.

content isn't your job. but right now it eats more of your time than it should. soulframe studio runs the whole operation - strategy, team, schedule, growth. you drop ideas. I make them happen.

built for businesses that already make money. not for accounts still figuring out what they're building.

WHAT I DO

Creative Direction and Strategy

align once, run forever

Team Onboarding and Management

your editors briefed, managed, kept on direction

Systems Setup

AI workflows, folders, cloud storage, SOPs, editing wikis

Calendar and Scheduling

planned, posted, you don't think about it

Growth Tracking

monthly report on what worked and what's next

Hiring Support

bring in vetted editors, animators, or other creatives from my network when you need them

fluent with the latest AI tools - used where it speeds the team up, never where it replaces craft or judgment.

HOW IT WORKS

MONTH 1 - SETUP

two weeks to align on direction, build the system, onboard the team. by the end of month 1, operational.

MONTH 2 ONWARD - RUNNING

you drop ideas. I run the operation. you don't approve every piece. we sync periodically.

MY STORY

I've been making things my whole life. Videos as a kid, music as a teenager, films as an adult. My mother was a painter who filled our house with Queen records and took me to every film she could find - she gave me an eye I've never been able to switch off. The need to capture something, to make it feel the way it actually felt. To tell stories that land in the body, not just the mind. That's never gone away.

I spent nearly a decade as a professional musician - touring the world, recording, building a drum school from scratch. Lost my mother during those years. Kept going. Eventually followed the camera full time, working with big creators, running productions, building the kind of creative discipline that only comes from doing it every day for years.

Outside of the work I'm always moving. Muay Thai, the gym, scuba diving, skydiving, hiking somewhere with a camera in my bag. I need to be in my body as much as I need to be behind a lens. Both demand the same thing - total presence. That's where soul and discipline comes from. That's my whole philosophy.

I'm based in Chiang Mai now, running SoulFrame, my creative studio. Still making things feel true.
