Shark Attack in the Isar

With Picture Sharks in Munich, Armin Hoffmann has established a film production company with a goal of quality rather than quantity.

It’s not a jump into deep water for this creative producer, who gained experience from many years with various renowned production companies, as well as freelance producer, as producer for advertising agencies and television.

25 years now as co-owner and executive producer of film production companies, he has also successfully produced films independently.

Even after 400 commercials, music videos and having worked more than 30 years in the film business, there is one thing for Armin Hoffmann that has not changed – his enthusiasm and passion for first class movies.
