Tom Tykwer is a German film director, scriptwriter, music composer and film producer of movies such as Run Lola Run, Perfume - The Story of a Murderer and The International. With Lana and Lily Wachowski, he realized the science fiction film Cloud Atlas in 2012. Before Tom started making films himself, he began studying philosophy after moving to Berlin in 1985 and worked as a projectionist.
In 1988, he took over the programming of Berlin's "Moviemento" cinema, which he managed until the late 1990s. Tom Tykwer is founder and shareholder of the film production company X Filme Creative Pool GmbH.
Together with his wife Marie, Tom founded One Fine Day e. V. in 2008. One Fine Day gave rise to the film production company One Fine Day Films, which realizes numerous film projects on location in Africa, such as the 2010 debut film Soulboy by Kenyan director Hawa Essuman and Nairobi Half Life with director Tosh Gitonga.

With ONE FINE DAY FILMS, we have also developed - in cooperation with the BMZ - an initiative that gives young East African filmmakers a voice.The regularly held intensive workshops have now produced seven worldwide award-winning feature films, most notably "Nairobi Half Life" (2013), arguably the most watched Kenyan feature film of all time. ONE FINE DAY FILMS has been instrumental in helping the Kenyan film industry develop as an attractive economic field of work. Increasingly, international productions are now coming to Nairobi to benefit from the rapidly increased level of professionalism from local film crews.
