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 | Production Manager
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.

Burkhard previously studied history and politics in Göttingen, during which time he was heavily active in a multitude of political student groups.

After a short break, Burkhard rejoined the expanding focus team in March 2019.
