CYPRIAN HERCKA
DIRECTOR / WRITER / PRODUCER / EDITOR /

VISUAL EFFECT ARTIST & SUPERVISOR


CYPRIAN HERCKA is a multiple award-winning freelance director and artist. He was born 1978 in Katowice. Has lived in Germany since 1982.

As son of an artist couple, Cyprian seemed to have the creative gene in his cradle. Legend has it that he was already painting on the chair in his father's studio at the age of 2. Fact is that at the age of 10 he was able to invite to his first solo exhibition at the Leopold Hoesch Museum in Dueren, Germany. At 13 and with his first VHS camera, he discovered his love of film. Suddenly he could bring stories, pictures and sculptures to life in a much larger space than on paper. And to this day, after 20 years in the industry and countless commercials, music videos and film projects, Cyprian still draws on these roots and also likes to use his experience and skills as a visual artist, storyboard and 2D artist, art director in pre- and post-production.

Cyprian creates worlds - without a god complex. As a creative. As a director.

MARTIN HILLEBRAND
COMPOSER / PRODUCER

MARTIN HILLEBRAND was born in 1972 in Gelsenkirchen.

His love for music flared up early on, so that he bought his first synthesizer (Roland JD-800) with his community service pay at 19 and signed his first record contract at 21.

He remained faithful to the audio-visual industry in the years that followed and after years as a self-employed editor, he co-founded the Cologne production company Neue Panorama Film in 2012, of which he was managing director until 2022.

Since 2022 he has been working again as a freelance producer and editor. But music remains Martin's first great love.

And so Martin is not only the musical head of the German electro band AFFENTANZ, but also composes music and scores for film and television.
