Joerg Steineck is a German filmmaker and audiovisual artist who is based in Berlin.

As a filmmaker he often explores subcultures such as underground music genres and stories of people who exist parallel to or on the edge of society.

He seeks to tell common but nevertheless extraordinary stories, and generate unique audiovisual atmospheres. Steineck also works as a painter, graphic artist and illustrator.

In his 84-minute feature documentary Truckfighters, he combines creative elements to tell the story about a common Swedish rock band in a most unconventional way. "Truckfighters Fuzzomentary" attracted media attention due to guest appearances of well known musicians and bands including Josh Homme and Fu Manchu. The film is thematically close to his following documentary film Lo Sound Desert.

His music documentary Lo Sound Desert was released in 2016. An early trailer for this film has been available on the internet since 2006 and have attracted attention of fans of the musical genre 'Desert or Stoner Rock', which is also a main topic in Truckfighters.

Steineck started his creative development with drawing, painting and photographing during his childhood. He shot his first film in the age of thirteen with a friend's VHS camera. Steineck also contributes musical content from time to time to his electronic music project The Gap Influence.
