For over 15 years by now, the Academy Award-nominated producer and distributor Benjamin Herrmann has been an integral part of the German film industry.

After studying to be a director at the University of Television and Film Munich (HFF), he worked as a senior editor and managing director of SevenPictures for the German broadcaster ProSieben, as a managing director at Senator Film's production and distribution outfits, and he was responsible for numerous successful films with his own production and distribution company, Majestic. For example, as executive producer on Michael "Bully" Herbig's "Manitou's Shoe"; as (co-)producer and distributor of Oliver Hirschbiegel's "The Experiment"; Lasse Hallström's "Chocolat"; Christian Zübert's "Lammbock"; Sönke Wortmann's "The Miracle of Bern"; and Christian Carion's Academy Award-nominated international co-production "Merry Christmas".

Just the films he produced and distributed with his company Majestic were seen by over 7.5 million people in German cinemas and received eleven German Film Awards. These include Doris Dörrie's surprise hit "Cherry Blossoms - Hanami"; Sherry Hormann's adaptation of Waris Dirie's bestselling autobiography, "Desert Flower"; Philipp Stölzl's alpine drama "North Face"; Florian Gallenberger's multi-award winning epic "John Rabe"; David Wnendt's scandalous smash hit "Wetlands"; Marcus H. Rosenmüller's culture clash comedy, "Summer in Orange"; and Hermine Huntgeburth's remake of Mark Twain's classic novel, "Tom Sawyer". Majestic doesn't just stand for great films, but also for great successes with smaller films: for example, the drama about honor killing and winner of numerous awards, "When We Leave" by Feo Aladag, and the dark mystery comedies "The Bone Man" and "The Eternal Life", in the series of film adaptations of books by the Austrian author Wolf Haas, featuring Josef Hader in the lead role.

Benjamin Herrmann's production "Tor de Force" by Christian Zübert, was premiered at Locarno and Toronto and was released in the fall of 2014. His new film, Florian Gallenberger's drama/thriller "Colonia" with Emma Watson and Daniel Brühl, will be finished in 2015.

Benjamin Herrmann is a member of the German and European Film Academies, and a member of the administrative board of the German Federal Film Board (FFA). He also teaches at several German film schools.
