BIOGRAPHY

ARMIN THALHAMMER
Armin Thalhammer beim Moscow Documentary Filmfestival

Hello, I am Armin, an internationally awarded filmmaker (M.A.) based in Munich. As a freelancer, I've produced, shot, and directed a wide range of content including commercials, documentaries, corporate films, and short films for clients both big and small around the world. Through these experiences, I've built a large and reliable network of colleagues throughout Europe and beyond. I'm highly skilled in organizing and executing professional small and medium-sized productions in a short amount of time while remaining flexible. Additionally, I'm also able to handle larger productions, as I collaborate closely with several Munich-based production companies.
