Working freelance in large advertising agencies and production companies Uli Pförtner gained technical and creative experience in all genres: Feature film, image and advertising films, animation and documentaries.
He continued as author (‚Das Haus - Poesie des Verfalls') initially for ARD (hr, mdr, wdr) and ZDF.
