IT ALL STARTED WITH A CAMERA

A little boy, a camera, and big dreams.

Growing up in Austria, I was fascinated by cameras. I loved the idea that you could capture a moment, turn it into a story, and make something ordinary feel extraordinary.

AND ACTION!

At eleven, my best friend and I started producing our very own action movies. Secret agents, dramatic escapes, spectacular stunts, and plenty of Hollywood magic.

We had absolutely no idea what we were doing.

But we loved every second of it.

THE MOVIE THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING...

Saying goodbye to my grandpa.

Years later, my beloved grandfather Eduard passed away.

I wanted to create something that would keep his memories alive. So I made a documentary about his life. And everyone who saw it was crying and smiling at the same time...

So I wanted to create more of those magic moments.

FOLLOW YOUR DREAM.

Sometimes, all it takes is someone who believes in you.

That's when my mentor Hermann came into the picture.

And his advice was beautifully simple:

«Birk, follow your dream.»

TWO FRIENDS. ONE BIG IDEA. 

Luckily, I wasn't on this journey alone.

My longtime friend Alexander Spitzer believed in the idea from the beginning. With his strategic mind, endless curiosity, and ability to see the bigger picture, he helped turn a personal passion into something real.



We spent countless hours in coworking spaces, brainstorming, developing ideas, and figuring out how to bring The Movie Of Life to families around the world.

THE STORY CONTINUES.

International progress.

What began with smaller international productions soon grew into something I could hardly have imagined.

I started traveling to meet the people behind the stories.

Not just for a quick interview, but to spend real time with them. To share meals, meet their families, hear their memories, and understand what made their lives so special.



One journey took me to Ohio, where I met Larry and Mary Bradigan and spent weeks documenting their extraordinary family story.
