Geoffrey Engelbrecht - Filmmaker

About Me

I am an ex-pat Canadian living and working in beautiful and rather hilly Switzerland.

I am an engineer by day. I work for a consulting firm which does research and development for the power sector.

At night and on the weekends I like to dabble in filmmaking with some of my friends.

We formed a simple society, ängel productions, and have made a number of shorts which have appeared in several film festivals around Switzerland and Italy. One film was shown on a local Swiss TV channel.
