MANFRED BORSCH

I’m a Cologne-based Directing DP passionate about crafting emotional, authentic visual stories. My work spans music, lifestyle, and automotive — blending directing, cinematography, and post-production into seamless storytelling.

As a trained musician, my audiovisual approach is all about flow and harmony. That’s why I work as a Directing DP — combining direction and cinematography into one fluid process.

I believe great films start with solid preparation. Through detailed pre-visualizations, precise measurements, and tailored shot lists, I build a clear foundation that frees creativity on set.

On the cinematography side, I’m a hands-on operator who loves being close to the action — whether it’s executing complex driving shots with all their technical demands and knowledge or carefully selecting lenses to capture the perfect mood. This technical passion ensures every frame is dynamic and authentic.

In post-production, I’m fluent across all major software — editing, color grading, and auditory design — and workflows to craft a cohesive final piece. By seamlessly blending visual and audio elements, I create a distinctive style that ties the entire project together.

I’m always up for new creative projects and meaningful collaborations. Let’s create something remarkable.
