Judy Tossell and Jens Meurer have been producing films under the Egoli Tossell banner since 2001. In their combined decades of film producing experience they have made over 75 films, premiering at every major film festival in the world and earning many nominations and awards, including Academy Award nominations for THE LAST STATION and a Golden Globe for CARLOS in 2011. From 2011 to 2015 Egoli Tossell Film was part of the Film House Germany group. In 2016 Judy and Jens founded Egoli Tossell Pictures to continue their independent production activities. Egoli Tossell Pictures is a subsidiary of Instant Film, a company founded in 2013 by Jens Meurer as a vehicle for developing feature length documentaries. We are European filmmakers with a passion for good stories and great storytellers – whether that be a feature film, a narrative documentary or a television series. And we are committed to dedicating at least half of our slate to women filmmakers and female-driven stories.
