About me
Christian Slezak is a german multidisciplinary filmmaker based in Berlin. From a young age he started with filming and photography and quickly made his way into the professional world of filmmaking. After his A-level and his apprenticeship as fitter and turner he worked as a volunteer with disabled people in New Zealand before travelling to Australia, Asia and many more countries for several years. Back in Germany he did his Bachelor of Arts in film and tv directing in Berlin while immersing into the film scene at full speed. He incorporated many roles on and off set, including Producer, Director, DoP, PM, SC, Gaffer, Editor etc. and recently expanded his horizons into the business world as Technical Manager in the Video On Demand business. As an agile project manager and certified Scrum Master & Product Owner he was able to improve processes and procedures in a sustainable way. After several years of work in various fields he is now searching for more meaningful assignments.

Gründer
Climate Sailor
We want to raise awareness to the fact that climate change has already begun by travelling to the places that are already affected. We want to give climate change a face by filming the affected people and to bring attention to their situation. How? By sailing to these places, carbon emission free. With film equipment and a group of film and scientific colleagues on board. Our aim is to empower the stories of people that are facing climate change.
