Hannah Schmidt

I studied Marine Environmental Science and Arts and Media at the University of Oldenburg, Germany. As a scientific diver and ranger I used to explore the sea of Antarctica and around the Scottish Orkney Islands, as well as the bird wildlife of the North Sea.

In 2007, I won at short film festival ‘zwergWERK’ the 3rd price of the SpontanouslyDone contest.

I am currently doing a traineeship at the film production company Leonardo Film in Oldenburg, Germany and am realising video news releases for youris.com.
