Director Biography - Damian Schmidt

Damian was born and raised in Switzerland, in a small, idyllic mountain village, to which he has remained loyal to this day. Today he still lives in the Swiss mountains, not far from his home village, where he works as a police officer.

His passion for films continued throughout his life until one day his employer commissioned him to produce a prevention film for the police.

Since then, Damian has been on the path of filmmaking, in which, in addition to putting his heart and soul, he invests every free minute, as long as family and career are not neglected.
