About
Jannik Schmoller is an actor-director, working in shorts, features and commercials. Mid 2015 he graduated from University of the Arts London with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film & Television. Originally from Germany's Gateway to the World, Hamburg, he loved living in London which he considers being the creative capital of Europe. Inspired by the city's rich cultural diversity, he has assembled an international team to tell universal stories. Jannik has particular interest in the exploration of our unconscious through film, multicultural collaboration and underwater cinematography.
In 2006, he attended the Torrey Pines High School in San Diego, CA where he received the People's Choice Award as actor of the year for his lead performance in Mary Zimmerman's The Odyssey. The experience allowed him to gain a complex understanding of mythological structure and the ability to easily communicate with actors. He speaks English, Spanish, French, Portuguese & German.
Jannik twice collaborated with Stanley Kubrick's choreographer on Eyes Wide Shut and Royal Ballet dancer, Vanessa Fenton to create stand out spectacle scenes. His experiential short film Torpor - Winter Sleep screened at the 2015 London Short Film Festival and the Festival de Cannes.
He is currently shooting his debut feature film.

“Jannik demonstrated consistent professionalism, tireless energy and abounding creativity in all his filmmaking activities.”
“Due to his loyalty and friendly personality, Jannik was very much appreciated by his colleagues and superiors.”
“I highly recommend Jannik as his personal and professional skills and infectious energy would bring much to your organisation.”
“Jannik’s work in all aspects of film making has been consistently excellent, and his practice in directing and cinematography has been first class.”
“I truly believe that Jannik’s love for the art of theatre is more enduring than the fleeting moment on stage, or more eloquent than his passionate discussion of literature. For him it is something as innate to life itself, as natural as the drawing of a breath.
Jannik’s empathy with his character’s frailties, ambitions and desires, as well as his lowest depths of despair paint a clear understanding of the psychology of the human condition. This sense of balance is amplified by the desire to share and be inspired by those around him.
It was clear from the beginning that it was Jannik’s passion for characterisation that would draw others into his creative world. His leadership, maturity and humour made all of us reach for the best that we could offer one another as well as our audiences.”
