In this episode, we talk with Jonas and Julia, the co-founders of Beazy. We go over how they started the company and the journey to where Beazy stands today.

They talk about their journey from having the first idea for the business when they were just broke students that could not afford to buy new lenses for their cameras, to building the community in Berlin and growing the company to now a team of over 10 people and all in between.

A few points we cover in this conversation are:

• What exactly is Beazy

"I’m a portrait and fashion photographer working between Auckland and Berlin. Although I have a background in marketing, I’ve been working as a freelance photographer for nearly 3 years, creating works for individual fashion as well as commercial clients. Nothing beats a simple and intimate portrait shoot though. My style combines deeply personal imagery with a timeless aesthetic. With a long history in the fields of creative content & social strategies I've attained a broad marketing skillset enabling me to create distinctive digital concepts and campaigns that matter." -Lea

"Hi, Hallo, Bonjour. My name is Joffrey Umbdenstock and I’m working as a videographer. As my last name might suggest it, I come from a nice village in the heart of Alsace. Close to my roots, I like to say that I grew up in a family of carpenters, because I inherited there a strong idea of construction, creation. I later rediscovered this power of creation through audiovisual production. So, little by little, I started to film and direct simple stories with friends, edits of video games, sports and with time I developed a real passion for video. I love capturing unique moments, adjusting, ordering, retouching them to create a story. “Story” and “Storytelling”, these became catchy words, at the same time I do believe in them, I believe in producing meaningful videos, videos that have an impact, that brings us back memories, that inspires us."

As a filmmaker and educator, Rick Minnich was born and raised in the American West, coming of age during the last years of the Cold War. After living on both sides of the Iron Curtain, he settled in Berlin months after the Wall came tumbling down.

Rick has dedicated his life to building bridges, rather than walls. His films cover a wide range of subjects, from growing up in the US during the Reagan era, his search for the perfect America, a foray into hillbilly music, the mysteries of amnesia, undetonated World War II bombs in Germany, and the attempt to connect Russia and the US with a tunnel beneath the Bering Strait. What all of Rick’s films have in common is a passion for intelligent and entertaining storytelling with a heart and a deep love of humanity.
