AKIM REMILAYO
Director | DOP | Editor | Colorist
HOW IT STARTED
I discovered my passion for filmmaking as a teenager in Hamburg, capturing the world through my camcorder on a skateboad. Starting with a three-year apprenticeship at INFECTED Postproduction, I gained a full understanding of post-production with a focus on color grading. This was followed by a two-year master’s in cinematography at Hamburg Media School, where I developed a comprehensive understanding of the craft.
HOW IT'S GOING
Since completing my studies in 2020, I’ve worked as a director, DOP, editor, and colorist – often combining all four roles on projects. From Conception through Production to Postproduction, I bring my expertise to each stage—creating athlete-focused stories that capture dynamic energy and resonate with sports brands. Working frequently with athletes, I’ve learned to naturally and quickly connect with athletes, ensuring the best results within the possibilities and scale of each production.
