Damian Derungs

Born and raised in Switzerland, Damian Derungs started out as a musician, playing saxophone in several jazz and funk bands. Next to his career in music he pursued his passion for rock climbing. After suffering a serious injury, climbing was no longer an option, which is why he picked up a camera and began documenting the journey of his friends and their experience with the sport. Soon after, he started his work in the commercial industry where he gained experience as a 1st ac, gaffer and finally, director of photography. Launching his own company "steepfaceproductions" in 2018, he has already completed two narrative shorts and is currently working on his first feature.
