While still a student at the Film Academy in Vienna, Ron Eichhorn directed
commercials, made an award winning music video for the „Bingo Boys“, and worked
on a weekly TV-Show for the austrian channel ORF. After graduating Eichhorn
turned to movies, directing his first feature-length project, the acclaimed ZDF
comedy „Amerika“, as well as a number of commercials.
In 1999, he consolidated on his earlier success with another ZDF movie, „The
Return of the black Buddha“, based on his own script and shot almost entirely
in China.
Shortly afterwards, Eichhorn earned further recognition for a succession of
award-winning commercials; including ads for Audi, Mercedes-Benz, and Deutsche
Telekom. His ardent ambition remains to further his career as a feature film
director.
Ron Eichhorn lives in Vienna and Berlin.
