DOCUMENTARY FILMMAKER · MODERATOR · PRODUCER

Stories from the edge of the map.

From an active volcano to the heads of the European institutions, I film and present documentaries and factual content for broadcasters, brands and organisations.

Die Vulkanfrau

Filming beside a paraglider launching in front of the glowing volcano crater at night

A production for ARD and SWR following volcanologist Ulla Lohmann. I climbed an active volcano with the crew to film it, and lived with an indigenous community in the South Pacific during the shoot.

Social media

Made to be watched. And shared.

10B+
views across social media, from award-winning new media content and channels I helped build from scratch.

Channel growth know-how

Years of building YouTube channels taught me what makes people click, stay and come back.

Social-first films

Reels, shorts and series shot for the feed: Innsbruck Tourism, Red Bull, AMA Marketing, Landjugend Österreich and the EU.

Stories that travel

From record attempts to emergencies, content built around real moments people want to send to a friend.

On camera

Behind the camera and in front of it.

Looking for a host for your documentary, event or video series? I present and moderate on camera, and because I film too, I understand what the crew needs and can work with them rather than around them.

I love presenting outside the studio: on a mountain, by the ocean, or anywhere in between. As a qualified Rettungssanitäter (EMT) with the Austrian Red Cross and a volunteer firefighter, I stay calm and useful when help is hours away. I work in German and English.

About

From billions of views to real stories.

Portrait of Gabriel Grassmayr in a suit

I started by building and growing YouTube channels from the ground up, and learned what holds an audience's attention. Across social media that work has more than 10 billion views.

Since then, I have moved toward documentaries and long-form storytelling, and co-founded the production company MC Media, where I planned and ran projects for international clients. I was also an MEP trainee at the European Parliament and now work as a parliamentary assistant in the Austrian Parliament, which taught me how institutions and politics actually run.

Life is a series of stories. When I'm not telling other people's, I'm out creating my own adventures, saving lives, and living the kind of moments worth capturing.
