Biography

Bernhard Floedl was born in Austria in 1965 and settled in Manila, Philippines in 1985, but all along kept a second residence in Austria. Until the mid-1990s he worked as an actor on various B-movies and during this time was able to work with well-known stars like Chuck Norris, Richard Harris, Donald Pleasance, Susan Sarandon, Robert Davi and Richard Hatch, just to name a few. He appeared in 30 International productions and some locally produced films as a supporting actor, but also did 3 films in which he had second lead roles. While staying in contact with Hollywood insiders he later became a business man and worked as a trading consultant in close contact with major Philippine Corporations like Philippine Airlines. Through the last 30 years Bernhard Floedl also indulged in vintage American muscle car restoration as a hobby restoring priceless American muscle cars and building a collection. As a die-hard cinema enthusiast he never lost his passion for film. As he encountered some young, talented Filipino filmmakers he decided to venture into producing and co-directing his first full length documentary entitled "MotiV8tion". Around 2005 he also became an avid art collector who has since built an impressive collection of European and South East Asian Art. In the near future he plans to build his own private art museum in Austria.
