I am moving myself and family to Berlin next March.
I have a semi-decent career built up in London as a lighting designer/technician and technical director and although I have no hesitation in leaving that behind, I would like to believe I won't have to start from zero in Berlin.
My german is currently barely enough to get me fed/drunk/beaten up through the long nights of Kreuzberg, but I learn fast.
Are there any native english speakers (with poor german), living and working in Berlin? (and I mean for money). My CV is quite substantial by any standards and I can cover roles from lighting, sound and AV technician to large scale lighting design.
Anybody out there with a similar background with some words of encouragement?
p.s. For discouraging advice it's too late. I AM GOING!
