Biography

For almost 25 years, Dirk lived in Rome, Italy where he graduated at the National Academy of Film and Drama, and at Rome University in Media Sciences. Connecting music and drama, he worked as an opera director, started directing and writing feature films, television and documentaries. At the same time, he participated in a growing number of international films as a line-, associate- and executive producer.

Dirk is a director, writer and producer with vast international creative experience and a long track record as a producer of complex projects in difficult territories. After many years in feature film, Dirk recently focuses on factual film. He holds classes on film direction and production, writes articles and is appointed to juries of several film festivals.

Since 2010, Dirk channeled his international experience into establishing OutreMer Film, first together with seasoned German producer Herbert Gehr, then from 2014 with Henrik Sauer (BVK), his long time director of photography. "OutreMer" is an ancient word for things that are beyond - figuratively and literally. From its bases in Berlin and Hamburg, the company creates films in Africa, the Middle East, the Maghreb and Central Asia, focusing on documentaries with urgent issues and hand-picked feature films with unique subjects.
