Bernhard Floedl

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 so 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 so indulged in a 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".
