Roja-Media tries to set pictures in motion and scene, pictures that touch your feelings.
In 1998 the two brothers Jan and Simon Mühlethaler set a beginning of the company roja-media with their first skate and snowboardvideo. Shortly later they tried to do short film and experimental film.
Jan Mühlethaler studied later at the Institute of Media sciences at the University of Basel and at the college in artistic subject in Berne under the direction of Luki Frieden.
Shortly after the two brothers produced film videos for music bands of Berne like The Chocolate Rockets or ChooChoo, and also a Super 8 shortfilm called Murphy Hotel with Sebastian Fisher and Leah Inhauser in the leading roles.
Shortly before the end of 2006 Jan Mühlethaler had the chance to work for the well known agency called Die Gestalten in Berlin. He worked for the cutting and Motion Design department. With the cuts of the Reamonn“ TourDVD Wish and its Video Serpentine, concert-cuts for bands like Mando Diao or 2raumwohnungen, he could develop himself actively on the professional and international level and parquet. The musicvideo for Marilyn Manson will centainly remain unforgettable.
Directed by himself and again under the roja-media label the musicvideo for the avantgard rap-Kombo Kinderzimmer Production in Berlin got produced at the end of 2007. The complex video with its strong picture language managed even to be shown in the exhibition Vertrautes Terrain of the wellknown museum for media art (ZKM) in Karlsruhe and was was nominated for Best Swiss Musicvideo in 2008!
