Now active in the film and television industry for over 15 years, Edwin Goldman has produced a wide range of content in various formats with his Amsterdam-based company, Goldman Film. Among his works is the feature adaptation of the best-selling YA thriller Vicious, which premiered internationally in competition at the Kristiansand ICFF. The short film Buddy, which he wrote and produced, was selected for the Oscar-qualifying Palm Springs International ShortFest and over 60 international film festivals, winning several awards.
His Dutch-Indonesian-German and Queer background defines him as a diverse filmmaker. He holds an MA degree in Film Studies and was the first student to produce and distribute a feature film before graduating from the Netherlands Film Academy. He participated in Binger Filmlab’s Creative Producers Lab, IFFR’s Rotterdam Lab, Berlinale Visitors Programme, and EAVE’s Producer’s Workshop. He has given workshops on script development, film production and financing for IFFR and ‘Kunstbende’ (an organization that stimulates young creative talent).
Goldman Film regularly co-produces with Phanta Film, a renowned Dutch production company founded by Petra Goedings, who has over 35 years of experience with international co-productions across genres ranging including animation, documentaries, features, and series. Together with Phanta Basta!, Phanta Animation, and BosBros, they form the film division of the Dutch media company Phanta Vision.
