Synopsis

Till-Christopher Bamberg's obsession with special effects films began, as it does for many others, in his early youth. At the age of nine he saw THE THING (1982) by John Carpenter and was at the same time shocked and fascinated by how the things were made that were seen there. He was also one of those who watched the credits to the end to find out which artists worked on the film and in which profession. Everything about the making of a film interested him.

Today he has turned his passion into his vocation. Within his website "science-fiction-filme.com" he interviewed many artists of the film like Chris Walas, Rocco Gioffre, Alec Gillis, Syd Dutton and many others. He cooperates with several film magazines, such as CINEMA MUSICA, the only magazie for movie scores in Europe, or NEON ZOMBIE, where he creates interviews and background stories. He also works together with a German film label (Wicked Vision Distribution) and made special effects documentaries for the releases of SPACE TRUCKERS (1996) and THE RIFT (1990). On this occasion he spoke with Paul Gentry, Steve Howarth and Colin Arthur. He also writes booklets for other labels.

Together with two co-authors he wrote the book DIE ALPTRAUMFABRIK (The Nightmare Factory), in which he interviewed Steve Johnson or Jack Sholder, among others.

This is his first book project alone.

When he is not working on a film-related project, the 43-year-old lives in a quiet town in northern Germany with his wife and two sons.
