Münchner Filmwerkstatt is a group of young filmmakers who have known each other since film school or since working together on micro-budget projects. Several years ago they decided to pool their talents to support each other's projects and create synergies. As a non-profit association, Münchner Filmwerkstatt clearly focuses on signature and artistic value. Among the recent productions of Münchner Filmwerkstatt, there are such different movies as cult-horror-comedy The Golden Nazi Vampire of Absam: Part II - The Secret of Kottlitz Castle just as international arthouse hit The Red Spot. For the later, producer Martin Blankemeyer received a "Pierrot"-Award, Bavarian equivalent to the Oscars, as best young producer.

With a firm belief that international co-operation needs trusting and personal relations, we hope to continue building such strategic partnerships with international producers and filmmakers. Specifically, we are very open to concrete micro- to low-budget project proposals and prepared to enter co-productions at an advanced stage of development.

Beside its own production activities, Münchner Filmwerkstatt runs the annual MUNICH INTERNATIONAL short film festival as well as numerous workshops with internationally wellknown teachers such as Christopher Vogler, Mark W. Travis, Keith Cunningham, Tom Schlesinger or Elliot Grove among others.

Münchner Filmwerkstatt is a registered charitable organization. Donations are tax deductible to the full extent of German tax authority's regulations.
