Film Team

Troy Goffin - Writer, Director, Producer

Starting out with a tiny 110 camera in his childhood in the 1970s, he moved up to his first 35mm SLR in 1986 and has been taking photos ever since. Continuing to practice and train with Super 8mm and 16mm, Troy opened his own small business near San Francisco in 2000 and used DVCAM to produce short films, image films and television commercials.

He holds a degree in Mechanical Engineering, a professional certificate in Web Design and is an accomplished graphic artist and photographer. Utilizing his engineering skills, Troy enjoys designing his own camera outfits based on the Canon XL-Series.

Since relocating to Germany in 2003, he has worked as a stills photographer on WINTERBERG (Anna Wahle, 2004) and ENGEL (Daniel Cornicius, 2006).

Today, Troy and his team travel throughout Germany and Central Europe making documentaries for his boutique production studio, Infinnitor Films.
