Jim Kroft

Jim Kroft is a musician, filmmaker, and writer living in Berlin. For the past three years, he's been writing The Creative Life — a weekly letter for working artists and creators who take the practice seriously. Over 150 consecutive issues, nearly 3,000 readers, and he hasn't missed a week.

Before the letter, there were twenty years in the arts. He came up through the underground as a musician, releasing records on both major labels and independents, and has toured across the Trans-Siberian Express, East Africa, and China. He moved to Berlin in 2007 and in his thirties turned to filmmaking — six documentaries, including The March of Hope, which won fifty awards at festivals worldwide.

The Workstations are tools Jim built for people like him — artists, musicians, and writers facing the demands of "content creation" who would rather spend that time improving their craft and building artistic careers.
