Expedition & adventure filmmaker
I film people at the edge of what they can do
– on mountains, in snow, on multi-day journeys – and edit it into stories that are honest about what it took.

What I do
- 01
Expedition & mountain film
I join your expedition, ski traverse or climb as the camera: light kit, self-sufficient, fit enough to keep filming at altitude when it matters.
- 02
Camera operator
Second unit or solo camera for creators, outdoor brands and productions. Cinema camera, drone and FPV, on location worldwide.
- 03
Documentary editing
Story-first edits for documentaries with impact: structure, pacing and the moments that make people care. Long-form and cut-downs.
- 04
Destination & hospitality films
For tourism boards, lodges and hotels: films that sell a place through the people and landscapes around it, in 16:9 and 9:16.
For expedition teams
In the field
An expedition camera has to carry its own weight. I travel full-time, I am used to long days in cold and thin air, and I plan the shoot around the objective – never the other way round.

Frequently asked questions
Can you keep filming at altitude?
An expedition camera has to carry its own weight. I travel full-time, I am used to long days in cold and thin air, and I plan the shoot around the objective – never the other way round.
Who will I actually work with?
No agency, no account manager. When you write, I answer – and I am the one carrying the camera up the mountain and sitting in the edit afterwards.
What do you shoot on?
Sony A7S III · A7 IV, drone, FPV
Do you deliver vertical cuts for social?
Your place and its surroundings are your strongest story. For Bleibe I filmed sunrise to dusk, drone and ground, and delivered landscape films plus vertical cuts for social.
Which languages, and how do you invoice?
Practical bits, because you will wonder: I am German, I work in German and English, and I invoice through my own US company, Micha Roessler LLC, because I work on the road full-time. You always deal with me directly.
How fast do you reply?
Tell me where, when and what you need. I answer within two working days.
