Sven Latzke Dipl.-Ing. Audiovisuelle Medien (FH) Stuttgart Media University

Sven worked with an agency for visual communication before he started his studies of "audiovisual media" at the Stuttgart Media University (Germany). After the production of two short feature films in his second and third year he gained first professional experiences in diverse internships and as personal assistant to music-video-director Volker Hannwacker. Back at the University Sven decided to refocus on his creative roots and started shooting music videos what finally led to his nomination for the "Nachwuchspreis der Baden- Wuerttembergischen Filmindustrie 2005", a yearly award for upcoming filmmakers presented by the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg. Though Sven produced and directed during the second half of his studies, he mainly focused on editing and graduated with editing the short feature film "Aufwaermphase" (warming-up). Beside studies Sven worked for almost 3 years as editor and video operator for the German television station SWR.
