Number of (film) AIs tested: 2,000
On Valentine’s Day 2014, I (then 21 years old) founded Sons of Motion Pictures with friends out of a love for film. Today, we work with renowned clients such as Warner Bros., Microsoft, Daimler, Deutsche Telekom, and BMW in the fields of AI, promotional films, and creativity.
I shot my first film at age 11, and by 18, my first documentary had won international 25 filmawards and received the distinction “particularly valuable.” Named “Germany’s Best Emerging Director of 2012,” I used the prize money to build my first permanent creative team. We have since won 70 advertising and film awards, and I now speak to audiences of up to 4,000 people worldwide at each Keynote event. That’s why the press has dubbed him the “AI Pope.” In 2021, the Federal Senate of Economics appointed me as Germany’s youngest honorary Senator for Economics.
In 2026, we expanded our business focus by founding seven200 AI Studios together with a former co-CEO of Constantin Film, and we sold the company shortly thereafter. Today, we also produce documentaries and feature films for streaming and theatrical release. Stay up to date with the latest news on LinkedIn.
