ABOUT

My name is Timothy Hoffmann, and I am a filmmaker, actor, musician and photographer currently based in Switzerland.

My work focuses on honest moments and genuine human experience, and the cinematic stories they tell. With a background in strategy at On Running and an MBA from IESE Business School as well as a decade-long professional career in the arts, I bring creative and commercial understanding together to tell meaningful stories across feature films, brand campaigns, and documentary & portrait photography.

Spec Film – Byredo (Puig)

Brand Storytelling Competition – Best Picture
Runtime: 6 minutes
Shot on Sony FX 9

Stuck in the past, Balta is waiting for the right moment. It’s been waiting for him too.

Spec film developed for the inaugural IESE Brand Storytelling competition — conceived and run in partnership with Byredo and parent company Puig, requiring teams to receive an official brand brief and deliver a finished short film shot in a single day, within one week. Led the project end-to-end as co-writer and director — overseeing all pre-production (location scouting, storyboarding, scheduling, rehearsals, costumes) and post-production (editing, sound design, special effects, color grading). Awarded top prize of competition (Best Picture).
