Tim Fehlbaum (b. 1982, Basel) studied cinema and television at the HFF academy in Munich. While at school he shot several shorts, including Für Julian, which took the 2004 Shocking Shorts Award. Beyond that he has also directed music videos, cooperating with the Munich band Blumentopf, among others. As a cameraman he worked on the documentaries Kinder der Schlafviertel (2005) and My American Cousin (2008). In the low-budget zombie short Am Flaucher he sought to create a particular style and atmosphere, one he would later use in Hell. That short exercise caught the attention of producer Thomas Wöbke, and together they and former fellow student Oliver Kahl wrote the script for Fehlbaum’s feature debut.
