Jochen Hägele
Paul Olivier
Born in Stuttgart, Germany, his family moved to France when he was two years old. Bred on classic Hollywood movies, and especially westerns, he knew from childhood on he wanted to be an actor, but playing the part of Mephistopheles in a high-school production of Goethe’s Faust made that decision final. He entered the famous Paris acting school “Ecole Florent” but left it after two years, finding it too undemanding. He then had to support himself with a collection of odd jobs for a few years, but in 1999, he was hired for a play and has since acted in more than twenty stage productions over the last ten years.
After appearing on French TV in “Paris 2011: la grande inondation” and the popular series “Un village français”, he made his film debut in 2009 in Fouad Benhammou’s “Le village des ombres”.
The part of Paul in Stéphane Guénin’s “Killing uncle Roman” is his first lead role in a feature-length film.

David Robertson
Jimmy
Is an experienced performance artist who is known for igniting the spirits of his students. He derives great pleasure in seeing the transformation that occurs in young people during his classes. David credits movement as the reservoir from which he draws his creative energy: “Whether I am dancing, choreographing or exploring the rhythms of the written word, movement is what gives me life.” David teaches “Empowerment Beyond Technique” – feeling comes first, technique follows naturally with training.
A native New Yorker, Robertson is a self-proclaimed “life-long student of dance.” He began his professional training at the Bernice Johnson Cultural Arts Center (where later he acted as Artistic Director). He strengthened his technique at the acclaimed High School of Performing Arts and continued his studies at Broadway Dance Center, Alvin Ailey’s American Dance Theatre and the Joffrey School of Ballet.

Robertson assisted Walter Painter for the production of the 41st Annual Tony Awards and the late Lester Wilson on the 54th Annual Emmy Awards. Robertson created dance steps for Ashanti. He also worked on The Fighting Temptations, an MTV and Paramount Picture production starring Cuba Gooding Jr., Beyonce Knowles and Faith Evans. Another film credit is the Feature entitled Hair Show, which stars Mo’Nique, the actress/comedic star of the hit TV series The Parkers. Most recently, Robertson teamed up again with Debbie Allen for a production entitled BeeHive.
Looking toward the future, David Robertson welcomes new evolutions to become a multi-faceted creative artist. Having authored his first stage production, he nobly adds the title of playwright to his illustrious career. In 2003 Robertson formed a not for profit arts and education organization known as Triple Threat Performing Arts Academy. The Academy is dedicated to exposing adolescent’s aged 8-16 afterschool to the performing arts by providing highly skilled training through educational-based and nutritional programs. “If I can continue to produce and bring forth work that changes the way people, particularly today’s youth, think about life and the world around them, then I am doing my chosen work.”
