Director
Damien Hauser

Damien Hauser (snd 2001) on Šveitsi-Keenia filmiprodutsent, stsenarist ja lavastaja, kes on sündinud Zürichis. Ta alustas filmide tegemisega juba 7-aastaselt. Aastatel 2016-2020 sai ta filmihariduse SAE koolis Šveitsis, seejärel töötas reklaamfilme tootvas firmas Filme von Draussen. Tänaseks on Damieni pagasis nii lühifilme, reklaame, muusikavideoid kui ka mitmeid lühiformaadi projekte. Kuid tema suur armastus on alati kuulunud lugude jutustamisele. Tema esimene täispikk film „Pime armastus“ on filmitud Keenias, Bungomas, ajal, kui ta külastas oma sugulasi väikeses linnakeses.
