Ulrike Gehring. German film journalist and director.

Directing more than 200 films for television, she has developed a personal style and handwriting that has had a lasting stylistic influence on storytelling, particularly on economical topics. Her personal strength is: humans are interested in humans. For her pulsating features and documentaries she has won national and international awards. To a wider audience she became known as an Anchor woman on daily primetime programs for public tv and on breakfast television for a private channel.

Career

As a young print editor she started her broadcast career in assembling a regional radio studio for Hessischer Rundfunk and joint television in Kassel, when the German wall came down. She reported news and stories from the new east, before she worked at the Frankfurt headquarters as a film author editor journalist and program innovator.

Two scientists have been a major influence to Ulrike Gehring. The German expert in interview techniques Prof. Jürgen Friedrichs and Rhethorik-Prof. Hellmut Geissner have inspired her to a quest on the perception of the audience, human instincts and cognition of digital media.

As anchor woman in breakfast television she interviewed up to six partners per daily live show. This experience induced her, apart from her work as a tutor for journalists, to coach executives and decision makers. In her career Ulrike Gehring has consulted a number of personalities from entrepreneurship, politics and the church for media strategy and interviews.

1999 Ulrike Gehring founded screen art° in Frankfurt am Main. The production company is specialized on documentaries drawn from life and factual series. Frankfurt is, where the real worlds stories play. This conviction shows, how dear she holds economical topics. Whether at home or abroad, since decades she has gained insights in the reality of companies, more than the most other filmmakers. Her films tell economic crimes, success stories, scandals. She portraits big shots of the industry and puts emotional reality of staff and lone fighters in the picture. Several national and international awards, such as Silver in Cannes or quiet recently Gold in Deauville at the green awards, certify her unique emotional perspective.
