Fritz Böhm and
Sven Nuri first met at the University for Television & Film Munich where they founded Toccata Film in 2003. After both graduated in 2007, they had produced more than 10 award-winning shorts, all successfully distributed to TV networks and theatrical/video distributors in and out of Germany.
In 2007, Toccata Film produced the multiple award-winning children's adventure
Moonman, based on a picture-book by Tomi Ungerer, written & directed by Fritz Böhm. The low budget drama
Desperados on the Block (2009, dir: Tomasz E. Rudzik) was their first feature length production and won high praise at film festivals around the globe as well as several prestigious awards, including Prix FiPRESCI (European Prize of the Critics). In 2011 it was followed by
A Family of Three (dir: Pia Strietmann), a co-production with German TV networks WDR and BR, theatrical release scheduled for November 2011.
Since their work on
Krabat (Claussen+Wöbke+Putz, 2008) Toccata Film also offers post-production supervision as a full-scale service for demanding feature films. Recent credits include the Wiedemann & Berg titles
Friendship! and
Men in the City and its 2011 sequel as well as Otto Waalkes' new comedy
Otto's Eleven (TransWaalFilm, Poppular Pictures).
