Originally hailing from the world of electronic music, the 35 year old Bavarian moved to Berlin in the early 2000s and immediately devoted himself to the fields of film, sound and design. Having completed his film course in 2006, together with two partners, he founded MONOMANGO. A multi-disciplinary film and design studio based in Berlin. Since then, in his role as film director and creative director, he has worked on countless campaigns – primarily in the fashion, lifestyle and automotive sectors, spatial communication projects, as well as contemporary art and cultural projects.

A native of Germany, Alex Feil was immersed in storytelling at a young age, growing up in a family of theater makeup artists. His pursuit of film began when he was a student working as an assistant film editor at a German TV station. Upon graduation, Alex continued his post-production work, immediately finding success as a freelance editor for both commercials and documentaries throughout Germany.

After five years spent honing his editing and post-production craft, Alex found his directorial breakthrough with the 2006 commercial “The Jump” for a.r.t. studios, which garnered him international honors. Since that time, Alex has earned over 30 awards for his advertising work, most memorably for his campaigns for auto manufacturers including Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, and Jaguar. In addition to his directorial work, Alex is also a member of the Art Directors Club, where he serves as a juror for international advertising festivals.

Executive Producer Luke Thornton says, “Alex is a consummate storyteller, with a particularly deft command of comedy. His unique point of view and international experience makes him a perfect fit for Believe.” Fellow West Coast EP Mark O’Sullivan echoes Luke’s enthusiasm, saying, “We are thrilled to have signed such a talented director with such a broad range of skills. Alex is as comfortable shooting metal as he is getting a wry comedic performance.”

Oliver Würffell's love for filmmaking hasn't changed since he first picked up his parents' camcorder.

From then on he knew he would be a storyteller.

His ability to blend his love of humans, high end brands and film has lead Oliver to work alongside some of the world's largest brands and biggest names: Audi, Mercedes, Toyota, Land Rover, Biotherm, Rimowa, RedBull, Sony, Converse and stars like Neymar Jr., Manuel Neuer, Carlo Ancelotti, Richard Branson, Lewis Hamilton and Marky Ramone.

However, it is Oliver's genuine love for understanding narrative that gives all his work - from high-end TVC to long-form documentary - a tangible cinematic quality.

Thomas hasn’t stopped since. He’s become a sought-after director worldwide for his distinct style of dazzling imagery and effective action sequences, something that has translated particularly well in his automotive work. With almost a decade’s experience in the industry, his body of work includes clients Audi, Axe, Johnnie Walker, Dove, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan and Lincoln.

With years of flying solo as commercial directors we finally joined forces to double our impact on the film industry to work as a directors duo. We can hardly tell if it was our passion for a nice explosion every once in a while or our enthusiasm for film in common that got us synced the very first moment we met. But it’s both that got us addicted to movies and moviemaking. So we are happy to present our portfolio. As happiness is only real when shared we are happy to share and create some remarkable moments with you in the future.
