Filmmaking is not a profession, it is our life.
Many years ago, chance brought us together and has driven forth our shared passion: We show our love of nature, tell stories and make honest films, moving images that become an experience.
We’ve travelled around the globe, capturing intense moments. From climbing, skiing, and alpinism. We found the “untouched” in the most remote regions of the earth. On our trips we’ve learned a lot – about the creative vision, teamwork, pain and friendship. And this journey is far from over.
Three companies, two locations, one collective. We put together the right team for your project.
Simon Platzer
Simon has been an independent filmmaker for over 20 years. Just when you think you've reached the highest level of creativity, Simon ups the ante and peppers the project with a good sense of humor and his boundless enthusiasm for moving images. As a director, he gets what he wants with a great deal of empathy, even if it means one or two actors break out in a sweat. For film editing, he retreats to the editing suite of his company Grainhouse Productions in Innsbruck, where he gives his projects the perfect cut with passion, precision, and a clear eye for powerful images.
Johannes Hoffmann
Equipped with skis and camera, there is nothing to stop the professional freerider. In 2011 Joi was sparking the idea for Whiteroom's first ski film, which made a splash in the scene. Thanks to his pioneering spirit, he was at the forefront when the first drones came onto the market and immediately explored the limits of the flying camera.
Jakob Schweighofer
Jakob's professional career began with his passion for climbing, which took him to the imposing north faces of the Alps, the big walls of America, and the Karakoram range. As a mountain guide, he first came into contact with film productions, taking on various roles on set and mastering the craft of filmmaking in the process. With his extensive experience as a cameraman and mountain guide in extreme terrain, Jakob is now the perfect choice for demanding shoots in remote and challenging locations. Today, Jakob works as a freelance cameraman specializing in documentaries and commercials. Alongside his wife Stefanie, he develops and produces high-quality film projects from their base in Rosenheim, Bavaria, under the banner of their production company, Filmfarm.
