About us

On 1st April 2000 David Althammer (Pollux Video) and Urs Cordua (Corduafilm) agreed to end their 10-year rivalry in the field of show reel production to establish the company Cordua & Althammer GbR (Civil Law Association) with the singular intention of creating the website Schauspielervideos.de. In September 2006 the long-standing collaboration with Klaus Knittel‘s www.film-fernsehen.de resulted in the integration of his own actor search machine and services into the Schauspielervideos.de concept.

Despite being 4 years apart, Urs Cordua and David Althammer have many noteworthy biographical parallels.

Perhaps this is the reason why putting their heads together produces such harmony.

They have both...

• enjoyed piano lessons at an early age and later played in their own bands,
• graduated from high school,
• served civil service caring for the aged,
• started non-related studies which were later abondoned,
• accumulated their initial experience in the film and TV branch through assistance and work experience,
• established themselves as self-employed within a film production company at a relatively young age,
• produced, written, edited or filmed their own (short) films, imagefilms and documentaries,
• specialised in the production of artist’s show reels, especially with actors since the begining of the 1990‘s,
• above all, they both have short hair.
