David’s journey began with a strong foundation in law, having studied in Heidelberg and Cologne, followed by his legal clerkship in Berlin. However, his passion for storytelling soon led him away from the legal field and into the world of television. At Tele5, he quickly made his mark, taking charge of Distribution & Business Affairs before stepping into the role of Creative Director, where his innovative ideas began to flourish.
In 2018, David took a bold step by founding his own production company, Turbokultur. It wasn’t long before his unique vision and creative approach led to the development of hit TV formats like Heroes, Deadlines, and Freitagnacht Jews, a show that garnered widespread acclaim and earned him both the prestigious Grimme Award and the German Television Award.
David’s latest triumph is the TV series Die Zweiflers, where he serves as both creator and showrunner. The series has already made waves internationally, winning three awards at Cannes, including the “High School Award,” “Best Music,” and the coveted “Best Series” prize. His ability to blend sharp storytelling with captivating visuals has positioned David as a visionary force in the industry.
