ABOUT


​​​Hey, I'm Philip Ostendorf

About me

Since 2012, I have been successfully delivering freelance production support for 

international film shoots, photo productions, commercials, corporate videos, and

content campaigns - structured, efficient and reliable.

I support advertising agencies, production companies, and direct clients by translating creative concepts into realistic budgets and executing projects efficiently, purposefully, and cost-effectively.

​​

My path into Creative & Service Production:

I began my career in 2007, working on international fashion productions as a location scout and production assistant. Early on, I learned how crucial structure and composure are — especially when productions get hectic.

Subsequent roles as a project manager in an advertising agency and as a producer in a photography agency allowed me to deepen my practical experience.

I learned how to effectively combine creative processes with clear structures and manage complex film productions, photo shoots, and content projects with efficiency and precision.

This combination of organizational talent and hands-on production experience naturally led me to work independently as a Freelance Creative & Service Producer in Berlin, operating internationally.

Today I support film productions, photo shoots and content projects for brands, agencies and production companies internationally.

 

Why we are a good match:

 

  • Over 10 years of experience in film productions, photo productions, commercials, and corporate content as a Freelance Producer based in Berlin

  • Structured project management — from budgeting and scheduling to final delivery

  • Clear and transparent communication: always keeping budgets, timelines, and goals in focus

  • Realistic budgeting, pragmatic solutions, and creative flexibility

  • Calm, structured working style that creates an environment where teams can perform at their best
