BIOGRAPHY
Frank Bollinger has been working in the film industry in Europe and in the United States for the past 25 years.
As a native German, his path to production design began when he apprenticed in Germany for master carpenters in the 1980s. From this early exposure in fine craftsmanship, he developed a strong interest in architecture and design at The Technical College in Stuttgart, Germany where he graduated at the top of his class.
