*Sebastian Messerer is a videographer from Berlin. As such, he is interested in doing videos that investigate the creative process. Over the last 5 years he has gained a greater understanding of his own craft of filmmaking by looking at the approaches of creatives outside of his field, such as artists, musicians, architects, etc. This prompted him to start talking to contemporaries on camera about their processes.
