Been making films for brands and studios for years. If you’re building something and want the visuals to actually match the product - my DMs are open. 👾
cop vs. creative
For those who don’t know me, I’m Musti, and I was a cop in Germany for 5 years. It was my childhood dream, so right after school I went straight into the police. But the longer I was in it, the more I realized it just wasn’t built for me. It wasn’t about the job, it was more about my outlook on life. I knew I could work 40-50 years and then retire, or I could work hard building something of my own. Both are hard. I just had to pick my “hard.”
When I quit, I already knew what I was building. Me. My personal brand, and my creative taste. The police taught me discipline and it taught me courage, the kind you don’t really learn anywhere else. I took all of that with me on the journey.
But after quitting I hit rock bottom. It didn’t work out the way I envisioned. So I leaned on the one thing I knew, discipline, and just kept showing up every day, trying out different things. And slowly I figured it out.
Fast forward to today and I’m out here working on the craziest projects all over the world, building creative systems and brand worlds. Brands, creatives and museums hire me for my taste. And this is just the beginning.
Let this be a reminder/motivation for anyone reading. Working somewhere because you’re told to is hard. Building and believing in your own ideas is hard too. So choose your hard.
Haha sorry for getting philosophical, let’s create and have fun. My two favorite words: just create.
Trying to post here more often.
Here’s a small campaign I shot for BAYN Coffee in the UAE.
Concepts like this are my favorite kind of work, they leave room to think outside the box and actually have fun with the idea.
Dear friends, June 20 marks a new chapter: the public opening of DATALAND! 🏛️ We have worked so hard to build this, and I truly believe we are ready to show the world the future of digital art and machine intelligence. We can't wait to welcome you in Los Angeles!!!
Be more delusional.
Not careless - certain.
Certain that what you see in your head can exist in real life.
Make that short film. Raise your rates.
Send the message that scares you. Say yes before you’re ready.
Book the flight. Visit somewhere new. Let a different environment change your perspective.
Meet people who feel like the next chapter.
Build something that shifts culture. Create art that outlives you.
Document everything. Let your journey be proof it’s possible.
There are no limits - only the ones you believe in. The universe moves for those who move with conviction.
Live in the frequency of beautiful delusion and reality will start to follow.
