Benjamin Baumgartner

My name is Benjamin Baumgartner and I grew up in the world of show business. My father is a composer and music producer and my mother was a ballet dancer, so I spent more of my childhood in theatres and music studios than in kindergarten, which brought me into contact with the background processes at an early age. I also had the opportunity to take part in theatre and film productions as a child. Another important point is that my family, in addition to their work in other productions, has also been successfully running a private theatre for more than 10 years, which has become an integral part of the Austrian cultural landscape and we welcome between 80 and 100 coaches a year. (Romantik Theatre). This gave me further insight and experience in the field of production and organisation at an early stage. I also produced and presented programmes and reports for a Swiss/Liechtenstein TV station. During the corona pandemic, I completed a methodically up-to-date leadership training programme with the Austrian Armed Forces, which also gave me a lot of knowledge and further skills. My current completed productions include several music videos and a peace short film, for which I received several international awards and nominations, including best director debut, best actor and best war film. (London, Paris, Lisbon, Barcelona etc.).
