Jens Schillmöller is a writer, director and part time editor. He loves exploring the space between documentary, fiction and animation, bending the forms into something new. Add some tongue-in-cheek storytelling, meta comedy and a lively visual language – there you are!
His webseries and shortfilms for clients like BMW, Mercedes AMG, VDI, Deutsche Bahn, Renault, Vodafone and Baden-Württemberg have been awarded multiple times. BMWs nextgen series with Christoph Waltz brought ADC and Montreux Gold in 2021.
