Philip Ostendorf
Freelance Full Service Producer Berlin
Hey, I'm Philip Ostendorf
I support photo, film and content productions – from the first concept to final delivery.
With 15+ years of experience, I help structure creative processes, align teams, and
make sure projects run smoothly from start to finish. I work calmly, precisely, and with
a strong focus on what makes production reliable and people easy to work with.
I’ve worked across different environments – from classic commercial campaigns to content platforms, editorial setups and internal brand productions. Whether for agencies, brands or production companies, I step in where perspectives need to align: between creative and execution, client and crew, vision and logistics.
What I bring is a clear sense of structure, timing and communication – especially when things get fast or complex. I support projects on set and behind the scenes, locally or across borders – freelance or embedded into existing teams.
I believe in well-prepared productions, calm collaboration and realistic planning – so teams can focus on what they do best.
Why we are a good match:
-
15+ years of experience in international photo, film and content production
-
Structured project management – from initial planning to wrap and delivery
-
Calm communication and reliable coordination across all stakeholders
-
Realistic budgeting, dependable timelines and well-prepared shoots
-
A way of working that brings focus, creates clarity and supports strong collaboration
