ABOUT TIM STOFFEL

one of tim's distinctive marks is his talent for actor guidance. he loves to work with the people who're in front of the camera, and be it because at one time his own ambitions tended towards the acting profession.
following his grammar/high school graduation and an eight-month-long trip around the world, he completed numerous actor's workshops in order to close in on his target.

soon, however, he realized how rather more inspiring the job of the director was to him. thus he became assistant director at a major state theatre in southern germany. classic theatrical form tim soon found too confining, hence he took up studies in applied theatre arts. during his studies he participated in various practice courses with renowned performance artists and directors from germany and abroad.

it was then that film increasingly became his medium of expression - resulting in a number of short feature films. after finishing his studies he went professional and for one and a half years came to work as first assistant director at markenfilm; afterwards tim took over directing assignments himself. as a director tim stayed loyal to markenfim for another five years, and we're extremely pleased to welcome him here with us now.
tim's playful ways and his predilection for strong plots and characters often lead to very humorous spots. he would probably refer to himself as a drifter between genres since every story always requires a very own style and transfer into images. would he have to deceide for himself he'd name authentic-looking, feature film-like moments and stories as the ones most fascinating to him.
at present, tim's residence is in hamburg. in addition to german and english he also speaks set-compartible french.
