Frank Graf
Born in the West German Ruhr
region, he studied journalism, German language and literature as well as
philosophy before he began to work in numerous media-related fields. His
professional affiliations include six years as business manager for a Babelsberg-based
UFA affiliate in film and TV, where his responsibilities also included
commercial management and merchandizing of various TV series. After a brief
encounter with the New Economy, where he led the marketing side of a
leisure-time web portal, in 2001 he took over the business management of Road
Movies film production and Road Sales media distribution in tandem with Wim
Wenders. There, he was also in charge of more than ten international
co-productions, among them TEN MINUTES OLDER (directors: Jarmusch, Godard,
Kaurismaki, Bertolucci, et al.), SWEET 16 (director: Ken Loach), BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM
(director: Gurinder Chadha). Frank Graf was also the Associate
Producer of DON'T COME KNOCKING (director: Wim Wenders), DEUX (director:
Werner Schroeter), as well as JUNE MOON (director: Hanno Hackforth). Since
2004, he has been a consultant for different film and media companies and
institutions; he specializes in grant proposals, financial aid, funding,
implementation, administration, and business affairs for multiple projects with
such institutions as the Deutsche Filmakademie, DFA Produktion, and the Rainer
Werner Fassbinder Foundation.
