Who is Joerg Steineck?

Joerg Steineck is a German filmmaker, editor and graphic designer/artist who is based in Berlin.

During his study of film and design, he produced a few short documentaries and fictional films.

In his films he often explores subcultures such as underground music genres, and people who exist parallel to or on the edge of society.

He seeks to tell common but nevertheless extraordinary stories, and generate unique audiovisual atmospheres. Steineck also works as a graphic artist and illustrator.

In his 84-minute feature documentary Truckfighters, he combines creative elements to tell the story about a common Swedish rock band in a most unconventional way. "Truckfighters Fuzzomentary" attracted media attention due to guest appearances of well known musicians and bands including Josh Homme and Fu Manchu.

The release of his music documentary Lo Sound Desert is set for 2012. Trailers for this film are available on the internet since 2006 and have attracted attention of fans of the musical genre 'Desert or Stoner Rock', which is also a main topic in Truckfighters.

Steineck started his creative development with drawing, painting and photographing during his childhood.
