Thomas Stellmach
Oscar®-winning Director, Producer and Animation Filmmaker

Welcome to my website.

 

Discover my artistic animated films, creative animation workshops, and my informative and entertaining Animated Film Show – the Trickfilm-Show.

Thomas Stellmach tries, in a humorous way, to operate a zoetrope.

See, where passion leads.

Animated Films

Discover film clips, background stories and behind-the-scenes insights from my films – including the Oscar®-winning short film Quest, the award-winning music visualisation Virtuoso Virtual, and the fairy tale parody The Sausage Run.

Thomas Stellmach is holding a zoetrope, looking delighted.

Create, with passion inside.

Workshops & Presentations

I offer creative animation workshops, informative and entertaining film presentations and exhibitions on animation and moving images. These include the Animated Film Show (Trickfilm-Show) and the Spinning Animation Show.

Thomas Stellmach is completely at a loss with a zoetrope and desperately bites the rim of the optical device’s drum.

Take home, what passion made.
