Live and act
Jobst Oetzmann began his film career as an autodidact. At the age of twenty he produced his first video films and founded his own production company for this in the mid-eighties, Slim Jobst Oetzmann Produktion , based in Munich. Between 1985 and 1991 Oetzmann studied at the University of Television and Film Munich , where he graduated in film and television play . Originally his interests were also in the field of philology ; However, he soon broke off studying East Asian languages (Japanese and Chinese) to devote himself exclusively to film. His first medium-length feature film ( Der Condor ) was made while he was still in training and was selected in 1988 to kick off the 6 ° Festival Internazionale Cinema Giovani in Turin . He was also able to use the studios of the Munich Film School for the production of the two short films Only You and Lilias Dances Schiele , the latter was shot as a video in Betacam format .
Oetzmann had his breakthrough as a serious up-and-coming director with the film adaptation of Dirk Kurbjuweit's novel Die Einsamkeit der Krokodile . The film was shown at many festivals around the world (including Cannes , New York and Hong Kong ), received the Bavarian Film Prize (Producer Prize) in 2001 and other nominations.
Jobst Oetzmann made a name for himself on German television with solid “craftsmanship”: as a director and screenwriter of many episodes of well-known crime series. Above all, the crime scene series and several episodes of SOKO 5113 should be mentioned here .
With the processing of 2er without , he took up a template from Dirk Kurbjuweit for the second time, with whom he is on friendly terms. The music for this film was composed by Dieter Schleip , whom Oetzmann got to know while studying in Munich and with whom he preferred to work from the beginning.
Jobst Oetzmann is a member of the Federal Association of Directing , where he was elected to the board in February 2005, to which he belonged until the 2014 general meeting.
