Philip Ostendorf
Freelance Full Service Producer Berlin
Since 2012, I have been successfully managing international productions
as a Freelance Service Producer & Creative Producer in Berlin for advertising
agencies, production companies, and direct clients.
My goal: to translate creative concepts into realistic budgets and execute
projects efficiently, purposefully, and cost-effectively.
My path into Creative & Service Production:
In 2007, I started working on international fashion productions as a location scout and production assistant. These early experiences taught me how important structure and composure are—especially when things get hectic.
With subsequent roles as a project manager in an advertising agency and a producer in a photography agency, I was able to further develop my practical skills. I learned how to effectively combine creative processes with clear structures and manage complex film and photo productions with efficiency and precision. This blend of organizational talent and hands-on experience naturally led me to become a freelance Creative & Service Producer in Berlin, operating worldwide.
Why we are a good match:
-
Over 10 years of experience as a Freelance Producer in Berlin for film and photo productions
-
Structured project management from budgeting to final execution
-
Clear communication: Always keeping budgets and timelines in check
-
Realistic budgets and pragmatic solutions
-
Calm and structured: I create a working environment where everyone can perform at their best
Let’s bring your next project to life together!
I look forward to learning more about your ideas and collaborating on your upcoming productions that are not only professionally executed but also genuinely enjoyable.
