About Kim Fabienne Hertinger

Kim Fabienne Hertinger, born in 1990, celebrated her first successes as a filmmaker at the French "Festival Vidéo Jeunes Franco-Allemand 2010” with her short film VITESSE (2009). In the same year she attended the London Film Academy (UK) to gain her first experience in international film. In addition to her psychology studies (2011-2019) in Würzburg, she was regularly involved in film and advertising projects. The concept for SEA AT NIGHT (2017) emerged from a collaboration with regional filmmakers. Kim Fabienne acted as screenwriter, director and producer. The subsequent festival trip brought in over 70 nominations and almost 50 awards from all over the world. Since then, Kim Fabienne has worked as a freelance film producer and screenwriter. Her commitment to regional culture earned her the prestigious Cultural Promotion Prize of the City of Würzburg in 2020. In 2020 she sat on the festival jury for the "Indie Nuts Awards” in Oberammergau and is a member of the Filminitiative Würzburg e. V. and organized 2021 with the German Alzheimer Society e. V. the first film festival that addresses the topic of degenerative diseases. She is currently working on the development of her first feature film projects LAUGHTER OF THE DROMEDARS and OPERATION SPEER. Her short film OBOLUS was created in co-production with Bayerischer Rundfunk and was supported by the FilmFernsehenFonds Bayern. The film was shot in May 2023 and completed at the end of the year.
