Mehr zu ihm über les ARTISTS by Josef Stockinger.
LENNART BREDE - I was born in Kiel, Germany in 1975. In 1995, I moved to Cologne to pursue a career in music and music video direction. In 1998, I traveled to Milan at the invitation of directors Ralph Schmerberg and DoP Franz Lustig to work on a first commercial with Trigger Happy Productions. Shortly thereafter, I enrolled at the University of Wuppertal to study Communications Design with a major in Photography and audiovisual media where I studied under Uwe Loesch, Bazon Brock and Susan Lamer and was introduced to Peter Lindbergh – a major stylistic influence on my work.
I have always fused my pursuit of music with my career and academic pursuits. In fact, the videos I directed for my single releases, where part of my degree dissertation. After graduating from University (graduate diploma communication designer), I concentrated on directing music videos for various artists, working with Gentleman, Thomas D, Sido, Monrose and others.
I have also worked in set design, line production assistant and 1st AD on several commercial and movie sets. While shooting a commercial for Porsche with director Jacques Steyn, I sharpened my focus to video direction and put my first show reel together. Since then I have worked on productions from Germany to Jamaica, China and the USA, developing my filmwork into commercial films for Coca Cola, Escada, DB Bahn, TGV, to mention a few.
Going forward, I hope to direct music videos, commercials and ultimately movies.
Be well
