Hello! I am an independent producer, editor, and video journalist living in Berlin, Germany, originally from the US. My work ranges from music videos to corporate documentaries to short fiction films, although I've always had a passion for free-form documentary film that seeks to raise social awareness. My film credits include post-production editing and office work on the Oscar-nominated film Trouble the Water, Michael Moore's most recent film Capitalism: A Love Story, and the upcoming Morgan Spurlock-produced documentary, Dancing in Jaffa. I have always devoted a significant amount of time to the discoveries of travel, various cultures, and the human spirit, and hope to convey this understanding and emotions in my film work and everyday life. I graduated from Wesleyan with a BA in film in 2010 and now reside in Berlin, Germany, continuing to make creative and fun work.

After traveling the world on a bicycle for almost two years, Heiko Aufdermauer has studied FILM DIRECTION at HFF Konrad Wolf in Babelsberg. In 2008, he was rewarded with a DAAD post-graduate scholarship for Kolkata / India. Apart from a documentary in Eastern Germany (JAPAN IS UNDERNEATH), many times he worked abroad: in India, he shot the shortfilm DIVINE DURGA and in Iran, he did ZAAR – both for arte. His artistic roots are alike in narrative film (e.g. the award winning feature film ZEIT DER FISCHE ) as well as in internationally successful experimental work (Förderpreis dt. Film in Hof, Oberhausen, Sao Paulo, Shanghai, Houston). In addition to his work on two new feature films, in recent years, he directed and shot as D.O.P. hundreds of commercials, scenes, music clips and short films as commissioned work.

Born in Görlitz, raised in the eastern part of Berlin. Starting with photography, my passion has always been capturing what I see. Framing a shot is still the best. I did a three-year training at the film archives and learned everything about "real" film. Afterwards I studied Audio-Visual Media in Berlin and did my Diploma in Camera in 2009. Since then my fascination for creating moving images has taken me all around the world. Together with two friends and over the course of almost five years I successfully ran my own film production company focusing on commercials, brand-videos and portraits. In 2016 I left Kings&Kongs Filmproduktion to go back to my roots enjoying life as a DoP freelancer again. I still work closely together with www.kingsandkongs.de I love to work in both fields of documentaries and advertisments. My heart belongs to the beauty of nature, and my heart belongs to people & their stories. With my own professional equipment I like to travel a lot even to the most remote places in the world. My clients include Samsung, Huawei, Telekom, Volkswagen, Ritter Sport, Booking.com, Opel, Juniqe, Montblanc and several international TV Stations.
