Located in the Westwerk complex in Leipzig, Germany, expanding focus is specialised in the conception, production and distribution of VR experiences and cinematic VR content.
Here at Expanding Focus we create our own productions, as well as team up with other creative partners to co-produce VR content. We also provide VR and 360° camera services and studio space for third parties. Expanding Focus works in the medium of documentary, fiction, installations, music and games – via the exciting universe of VR and 360° content and experiences.
We have a vast network of digital artists, programmers, directors, writers, 360° DOPs, post-production specialists, and strategic partners for events, installations, and exhibitions – many of them on-site in Leipzig.
head of development | co-founder
After studying Dramaturgy, Multimedia Art and Film Production, Alex worked at Filmacademy Baden Württemberg in the department of Interactive Media. During this time he consulted companies such as the Red Bull Media House, and Universal Pictures. With the continued rise of VR, Alex realised that the digital world would soon be everywhere. This inspired him to found a playground for virtual spaces – expanding focus GmbH – to investigate the beauty and fun of alternate realities and to create a home for those who dare to try out new things!
Producer
Following his apprenticeship as a banker, Thomas studied cultural science, communication- and media science at the University of Leipzig. After his work in the production management of a film production company and as studio manager for the MDR, he joined expanding focus as a producer – utilising his financial background to manage the funding of new projects, and his organizational skills to streamline the production process.
Public Relations
Burkhard previously studied history and politics in Göttingen, during which time he was heavily active in a multitude of political student groups. These experience formed the foundation of his work in PR. To further research public relations, he then graduated from the University of Halle with a master’s degree in online journalism. After a short break, Burkhard rejoined the expanding focus team in March.
