For more than 12 years, HelliVentures has been shooting commercial spots, adventure documentaries and corporate image films. In all of its projects the HelliVentures team combines a love for film and storytelling with a passion for sports and the outdoors.
Joachim Hellinger is known for his on-set accuracy and creative innovation, even under extreme and often incalculable conditions. With his fondness for the elements and his unmistakable flair for the human touch, he conveys the world's edgiest locations in the most engaging of terms. 'Helli' has directed commercials for many top clients around the world, including Clear, Colgate Maxfresh, Hansaplast, ING-DiBa, Kraft Foods, Nestle, Nivea, Oakley, Red Bull, Royal Caribbean, Samsung, Swatch and Unilever.
Marten Persiel joined HelliVentures in 2008, moving back to Berlin after having spent seven years living in Barcelona. During this period his continued interest in culture and languages lead him, besides shooting commercials, to direct documentaries in the Philippines and Africa. His style of direction is distinguished by a raw freshness, a form of punk attitude and the naturalness of his actors.
Marten has directed commercials for many clients including Panasonic, Oreo, British Knights and Eastpack.
