Tatjana Wenig is an independent filmmaker with a unique style shaped by her background in pop culture and television.
Originally from Munich, she gained experience in television production before beginning her studies at the HFF Munich.
While still a student, she entered the music video industry and took a chance of riding the German rap hype of 2017, to work on more than 150 music videos and projects for various artists. She ventured into directing and worked with notable artists including Shirin David, Gims, David Guetta, Future, Luciano, Ufo361 and Robin Schulz and Brands such as Adidas, Highsnobiety and Mercedes-Benz.
Unsatisfied with the status quo of the german rap scene, Tatjana founded the female creative collective FEMALE FORCE, which strives for more women behind the camera in all (leading) positions. Tatjana applies the same mindset when directing commercials.
Alongside her work with 100BLACKDOLPHINS, Tatjana founded FEMALE FORCE in 2021, transforming it into a GmbH in 2022.
FEMALE FORCE is focused on empowering women in the film and music industries, both in front of and behind the camera. These industries have traditionally been dominated by men, and our goal is to promote women in crucial positions such as cinematographers, choreographers and producers. We implement this principle from brainstorming to execution and believe that this positively impacts not only the atmosphere on set, but also the way artists and actresses are portrayed. Our long-term goal is to create role models for the next generation and encourage women to succeed in these industries.
In an industry traditionally dominated by men, FEMALE FORCE has successfully generated new opportunities for emerging female talents that were previously lacking. This effort has yielded impressive results, as within less than a year, FEMALE FORCE received three nominations for the HipHop.de Awards. The nominations were for their work on music videos, including "Peppermint" by Luciano and "Pussypower" by Katja Krasavice, as well as recognition as the "Maker of the Year.
"FEMALE FORCE is a production company, an enabler and connector for female teams and a creative house.
Are you looking to gold-plate a battle tank or in need of a suitable hangar as a film location? In need of a real life black panther? Or 20 G Wagon vehicles? Planning to use a robotic arm for shots during the holiday season? Or maybe you're considering a short-notice campaign shoot in the Italian Alps, complete with helicopters and skidoos?
The world of German Rap is undeniably unconventional. Since 2017, Tatjana had the privilege of executing more than 150 projects, including many self-produced ones. She has established valuable connections with (female) crews in Munich and Berlin, as well as production resources spanning Italy, France, Los Angeles, Cape Town, Istanbul, Bulgaria, Kosovo, Spain, and many other locations. Tatjana thrives under pressure, possess extensive experience, and is committed to delivering the best results. She’s delighted to offer her support on your upcoming project.
