Katrin Hemmer

Producer, Digital & Communications

As Producer in the Digital & Communications Department, Kati develops and produces content for Terra Mater Studios’ YouTube channel and the weekly science programme TM Wissen, focusing on biodiversity, science and conservation topics.

Kati loves being creative and has a passion for scientific journalism. Already during school, she started writing short-stories about animals and conservation. Kati holds a university degree in journalism and public relations (FH Joanneum Graz), and is currently busy finishing an intensive course on Sustainability Communication and Climate Journalism (FH Joanneum Graz). Before joining TMS, she worked for the Print and Online departments of German educational monthly magazine GEO in Hamburg.

In her leisure time, Katrin enjoys spending time with her family, dog, and friends. On weekends, you will definitely find her in the mountains – either skiing, climbing, or enjoying hot tea in front of a small hut, taking in the scenery.

Christopher Köhler

Assistant Producer, Digital & Communications
Mobile+43-1-664-88892873

Christopher works as Assistant Producer in the Digital Department at Terra Mater Studios. He is a vital part of the busy YouTube unit, keeping things running smoothly and the editorial calendar up to date. Research, script development, editing, footage search, project management and much more make up his daily business. Furthermore, he also works on the weekly science programme TM Wissen.

When Christopher joined TMS in 2019, he started in the Specialist Factual Department, where he worked on documentaries like “Magic Moments – The Spell of Nature”, or “Perfect Parenting – How to raise your Young”, an award-winning film about the complexities of animal parenting. He studied biology at the University of Vienna and before that, he went to Namibia where he completed an internship at the Harnas Wildlife Foundations Voluntary Program. And there it happened, that Christopher was drawn in front of the camera – for the factual entertainment series “Harnas – Wildlife Rescue Camp” (2011-2015).

When not thinking about how to weave an exciting story in the realms of nature, Christopher loves to explore other worlds. Be it through a good book, a new TV series, a story-driven videogame or, quite old-school, at a table rolling some D20s.

Elisa Mourão-Fischer

Digital Marketing Strategist

Elisa is the Digital Marketing Strategist in the Digital & Communications Department. She’s the brain behind every online presence of Terra Mater Studios. It doesn’t matter which platform we are talking about. She collects every in-house project, new YouTube videos, events, behind-the-scenes, sustainability tips, and unique shots made by our team and then mixes everything to create engaging and inspiring content for our online channels.

Her career started in 2012, and her debut was already with social media and online marketing. Her first job was at Globo, Latin America’s biggest communication company; after that, she navigated through different industries. She worked in a publisher, in an online course, and also within the app industry. Always on or behind the camera, producing video and written content to raise brand awareness and build a loyal community.

Elisa was born and raised in the Cidade Maravilhosa, aka Rio de Janeiro. She moved to London, where she did her Master’s Degree in Film and Screen Cultures, and since then, she has been in Austria. Elisa considers herself a multicultural person, always curious to learn about new cultures and places. She’s also a music lover, which means she needs a soundtrack for every single task she does, just biking to work or preparing her next social media post for Terra Mater Studios.
