Moritz Mayerhofer (1981) decided early to do films. After many years of joining a scholar film group he successfully applied for studies of Animation at the Filmakademie Baden-Wuerttemberg in 2003. He created a couple of award-winning shorts such as "CAPs", "The Christmas-Hitler" and "The Last Tree". In 2005 Moritz was a Jury member of Zlín International Filmfestival (Czech Republic) and Roshd International Filmfestival (Iran), and was invited as a speaker at FMX 2006 and Computerspace Forum 2007. To learn more about Animation, Design and Layout he participated in an exchange program at le Gobelins, Paris. He attended several international congresses on filmmaking, design and European Co-production. After his graduation with "Urs", a 10 minute animated short, he plans to develop a European feature-film.
