ABOUT
Sebastian Jansen was born in 1987 in Lahnstein, Germany. Way too early his father made him watch James Bond and Star Trek. Fate sealed.
In 2009 he started studying “Time-Based Media” at the University of Applied Sciences in Mainz, Germany. He finished with honors with his internationally acclaimed short film “Registered” in 2013. Several drama shorts (e.g. "Laundry Mood"), commercials and music videos followed.
In summer 2016 Sebastian finished his diploma studies in "Film Production" at Vancouver Film School. And here we are now, ready to tell more stories.
Sebastian likes schnitzel and cats. One of them to eat.
