Sandra Spethmann brings a diverse background to her role as Head of Production at Greatcoat Films. Born in Germany, she initially studied business management and volunteered for a few NGOs in Africa before moving to France and joining a robotics company – where she produced content to develop a home assistance and education robot, aimed at the elderly and children with autism. After five years in Paris, Spethmann relocated to London to study an MA in documentary filmmaking at LCC which included travelling to Everest to shoot her own feature doc. After graduation Spethmann focused on photography and production, and worked with clients including Google, NBC, the Discovery Channel and Apple. In 2017 she joined Greatcoat Films, where she oversees every single production from start to end – always prioritising a positive working environment for all involved.

When she’s not working, Spethmann can be found in her campervan, surfboard in tow. As well as her ambition of producing more long term narrative projects with Greatcoat, Spethmann dreams of having her own small, sustainable farm. She recently bought three Swaledale sheep.
