Uwe Boll (German: [ˈuːvə ˈbɔl]; born June 22, 1965) is a German restaurateur and a filmmaker. He finances his own films through his production companies Boll KG and Event Film Productions. Many of his films are produced on low budgets and Boll himself has backed his projects financially or made use of crowdfunding platforms. Boll's filmmaking career is generally divided into two distinct phases: the first consists of big budget films with a usually renowned cast, most of which gained him a reputation as a "schlock maestro", while receiving highly negative reviews from critics, with Alone in the Dark being considered one of the worst films ever made. His second phase is marked by films with a smaller budget or were independently made, relatively unknown actors and different approaches to filmmaking; Boll's Rampage film series, Tunnel Rats, Stoic, Amoklauf, Heart of America, Assault on Wall Street and Darfur were better received by critics. Boll decided to branch out from filmmaking in 2016 to work in the restaurant industry. He opened his Bauhaus Restaurant in Vancouver, which had earned positive reviews among food critics. In 2022, he returned to making films after selling the restaurant. Description above from the Wikipedia article Uwe Boll, licensed under CC-BY-SA, full list of contributors on Wikipedia.

Uwe Boll ist am 22. Juni 1965 geboren. Er ist ein deutscher Filmemacher und Restaurateur. Bekannt wurde er in den 2000er Jahren durch seine Verfilmungen von Videospiel-Franchises. Viele seiner Filme, wie z.B. "Alone in the Dark" (2005), wurden von Kritikern negativ bewertet und gelten als kommerzielle Misserfolge. Boll finanzierte seine Filme oft selbst durch seine Produktionsfirmen Boll KG und Event Film Productions. Trotz der negativen Kritiken hat er eine treue Fangemeinde und ist bekannt für seine kontroversen und oft provokativen Aussagen. Neben seiner Filmkarriere betreibt Boll auch mehrere Restaurants und hat sich in den letzten Jahren verstärkt auf die Gastronomie konzentriert.
