Film director Armen Antranikian (born July 3, 1984 in Göttingen, Germany) started working with film at a very young age. Inspired by his father's Super 8 home movies he made his first short films during schooldays in his hometown near Hamburg, Germany. After graduating from high school in 2004 he continued as a trainee at commercial production companies Embassy of Dreams in Munich and Tempomedia in Hamburg.

In January 2006 he moved to London and completed a one-year course at the Met Film School. In September 2006 he enrolled in a film course at the Skillset Screen Academy at LCC, part of the University of the Arts London. Here he was instructed by several noted industry professionals, including Jack Garfein and Iain Smith.

In 2007 Armen's short film One-Minute Guide to Planet Earth received a Jury Commendation at Filminute, the international one-minute film festival. In early 2008 he completed Kubrick, a short film commissioned by Channel 4 for the 3 Minute Wonder shorts strand. Subsequently, whilst attending the Cannes Film Festival for the second time, he sold his two short films Girl and One-Minute Guide to Planet Earth to global distributor Ouat Media. He is currently working on a project titled Alice Loves U, a sci-fi short about a female robot, love and the future.

Armen is in the early development stage of his first feature project based in UK and Germany. The film will explore present themes of alienation in a transnational society.
