Sehsucht Announces Hans-Christoph Schultheiss as Chief Creative Officer of Flagship Office

Sehsucht, the German creative production studio, has appointed its long-standing Creative Director Hans-Christoph Schultheiss as Chief Creative Officer for its headquarters in Hamburg.

Hans has almost 18 years of experience in the fields of design, animation and film and he has been an exclusive in-house director with the company since 2011. During this time he has worked for various internationally esteemed clients such as Lamborghini, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz and Lexus and his films have picked up many globally recognised awards.

“Hans has a well deserved reputation for his intuitive understanding of innovative creative tasks and conceptual problem solving. His unpretentious leadership, vast knowledge of CGI and animation techniques combined with a highly creative handling of processed moving image - from the classic TVC to immersive film experiences - makes him the ideal candidate for this new role,” says Martin Woelke, founder and partner of Sehsucht.

As Chief Creative Officer, the designer and director will focus on refining and expanding the studio’s innovative production processes across their film, animation, design and visual effects departments.

Hans says of his new role "Sehsucht has always had a reputation for constantly re-inventing itself to stay ahead of the game. And once again it is time to take the next steps. I couldn’t be more excited about this new role, shaping the future of the studio together with our incredible team.”
