About

Eddie Bolger is a documentary filmmaker based in Berlin. As an independent producer, he specialises in short documentary commissions for museums, universities and cultural institutions.

Eddie operates primarily as a self-shooting Producer/Director, but is also at home as part of a larger crew. His professional experience bridges the logistical complexity of fiction shoots, the attention to detail of corporate work, the sensitivity and responsiveness of solo documentary shooting, and the conceptual agility of experimental and essayistic film.
