Embrace uncertainty & life becomes an adventure.
Born in the Black Forest in Southwest Germany with the gift of storytelling I travel this world – and others – to share my experience in films, books, interviews, podcasts, webinars & online summits.
I learned from academies, spiritual teachers, shamans in Colombia, Perú, Panama & Mexico and most of all: from Life itself.
I am Oliver Lionheart. Master of Storytelling, filmmaker, medicine walker.

‘Stories outlive time. Information doesn’t.’
Serendipity Filmmaking
After creating films for over 30 years I feel it is about time to share my experience, especially with independent adventurous filmmakers.
The online course ‘Serendipity filmmaking’ will be launched in fall 2025.

Film trilogy ‘One planet. One family.’ (2016-2019)

The Big Black (2011)
‘The Big Black’ is my feature film from 2011, a mysterious quest through my own dark night of the soul.

Only when a vision is bigger than yourself, will it be a vision.
Otherwise it is a thought.’
