Amai Haukamp

Writer and Cutter

Amai Haukamp is an experienced German journalist with a long record working for Spiegel TV. Her career has largely been working as a journalist and editor for several renown broadcasting companies. In this capacity she most enjoyed sourcing topics and producing documentaries with aspects that were social and community orientated.

Her roles demanded strong communication skills and the power of persuasion and authenticity without being pushy and by taking the needs of the other into consideration i.e. when gaining interview-partners for highly sensitive TV-documentaries.  As a journalist, she thrives most during the making of documentaries, which show a development of her protagonists and initiate a process of change rather that focus on any sensationalism.
