From Perth to Everywhere

Born in Perth, Australia, I studied sound, music and film production in Melbourne—paying the rent by DJing sweat‑soaked warehouse parties. By 2011 I’d sold the decks, packed a Canon 7D and a one‑way ticket to Berlin.

Berlin handed me freedom and €0.67 Aldi noodles. With €30 to my name I began shooting my first feature Busking for Berlin and never looked back.

Filmmaking & Music Videos

Since those noodle days I’ve directed 200+ music videos for indie bands and platinum artists, three feature films, and dozens of branded shorts. My company Music Records morphed into Next Day Cinematics in 2024—same punk speed, shinier logo.

Building “Villa Kunter Boot” (2017)

In 2017 I found a rusted pontoon and dreamed bigger—turning it into a solar‑powered floating studio on Berlin’s Spree. Eighteen months later Villa Kunter Boot was afloat: home, edit suite and rave venue in one.

The Recent Chapters

Covid hit and I swapped crowded clubs for coral reefs—spending 2020‑22 in Cairns, Australia. There I launched my first monetised channel Globe Travel Adventures, followed by Carl Travels and the tech‑focused Carl Tomich Tech.

In 2021 I set sail to circle the planet—making it around Australia before the call of film pulled me back to shore. Post‑Brexit bureaucracy sent me digging into family trees: I’m now on the path to Croatian citizenship through my grandfather, ready for the next European chapter.

Off‑Camera Life

  • Certified drone pilot & aerial cinematographer.
  • Vinyl DJ when the vibe (and electricity) is right.
  • Open‑water diver chasing mantas & shipwrecks.
  • Runs on yerba maté—coffee is still overrated.
