Bio
My name is Alexander Schmitz. I was born in Trier and have been living with my wife and our two daughters in the countryside near Bitburg for almost 10 years. For the past 20 years, I have been running my own skate shop in Trier, Zupport. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to work closely with the skate scene, which allowed me to grow beyond the natural boundaries of my professional role.
At this point, I feel it's the right time to focus fully on my passion for camera work and video editing. Throughout my career, my love for filming and editing has been incredibly valuable. I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with brands such as RedBull, Nike, Adidas, Converse, and many others. My work with the camera also took me to New York and Los Angeles, where I had the opportunity to work with international teams on exciting projects.
