| FRANK GRIEBE is considered one of the best cameramen in Germany. In 1998 he was awarded the German Film Prize for WINTERSLEEPERS (1997) and TRAINS'N'ROSES (1998). In 1999, he received the award for the second time for his work on RUN LOLA RUN (1998). Griebe worked as DOP for the fourth time with Tom Tykwer on his film THE PRINCESS AND THE WARRIOR (2000), for which he was nominated for the 2001 European Film Awards. He was also cameraman on Sebastian Schipper's directing debut GIGANTICS (1999), NAKED by Doris Dörrie (2001) and Leander Haussmann's BERLIN BLUES (2002). Griebe began his career with an apprenticeship as a film processor. From 1984 to 1986 he trained to become a state-recognised camera assistant, and subsequently spent seven years working as such with cameramen like Herbert Müller, Michael Teutsch, Jürgen Jürges and Erling-Thurmann Andersen on film and television productions, documentaries and adverts.
