Who we are
HOLGER HUMMEL
CO-FOUNDER
Born near Stuttgart, South Germany in 1973. Early on, interest in technical things prioritized over learning to walk or speak. After the latter was achieved as well went to school, learned the profession of media salesman, studied media technology. Right after that worked at a post-production house for commercials in Hamburg. After that went back home to Stuttgart to work as VFX Editor for "The Red Baron". Soon after the project was finished felt the need to once more do something different. Plans were forged with his now-fellow companions at Celluloid VFX to go to Berlin and stir up the local market a bit. Turned out that this was not limited to the local market in the end...
