About

SUNYARD (Productions) is a platform created by Jan Steffen and Oliver Kraft for their collaborative film projects. It was born through their first collaboration on Jan Steffen's ambitious documentary "The Godmachine" gaining recognition as a finalist at New Zealand's International Film Festival in 2007.

Jan is a cinematographer and photographer, but has also been producing and directing on numerous occasions for his own projects as well as for various clients including the German National Television (ZDF) and Maori TV (New Zealand).

Oliver is a designer and musician with a portfolio of numerous films he directed and/or produced with Sunyard, but also for numerous clients in Germany and France including SWR (Germany) and ARTE (France/Germany).

When working with SUNYARD, Oliver and Jan usually co-direct and co-produce, with Oliver also acting as sound recordist and soundtrack producer/composer. While we know our roles, the point and the focus of SUNYARD projects is to release and funnel collaborative energy.
