Marty Schenk wants to tell stories that move.
What moves us is often not what we see, but what it sets in motion – a thought, a memory, a feeling.

He has been working as a film editor for over twenty years – starting in advertising, where many of his commercials received international awards, including the widely recognized Smart “Offroad” spot, which won Gold in Cannes.
Music videos, feature films, and streaming formats followed. His spectrum ranges from sharp comedy (Jerks, repeatedly awarded as Germany’s best comedy series) to sophisticated arthouse cinema (Next Door, Daniel Brühl’s directorial debut, written by Daniel Kehlmann) and large-scale streaming productions (The Empress, ranked #1 in over ten countries on Netflix).
Sieger Sein was awarded the German Film Prize for Best Children’s and Youth Film in 2024.
The Physician 2, directed by Philipp Stölzl, combines epic historical storytelling with advanced VFX and an international ensemble.

He looks for stories with depth and intention – and prefers to see them through the eyes of their protagonists, to feel with them. He searches for moments that can’t always be explained – but linger.

Sound design, music, and VFX aren’t afterthoughts for him – they’re part of the storytelling. He occasionally records sounds himself or lends his voice to narration. You can listen to some of his voice overs here.

He works from his studio in Berlin-Mitte.

Marty Schenk is a member of the German Film Academy and the German Editors Association (BFS).

He is open to new technologies – and above all: to stories that stay with you.
