Otakáro Schmidt
Otakáro Maria Schmidt, birth name Otakar Miloslav Maria Schmidt, nicknamed "Štětináč", born on October 28, 1960 in Pilsen, is a Czech director, screenwriter, moderator, actor, dancer and playwright.
In the 1960s he was a member of the Scout Club, nicknamed Červenáček. At the Jaroslav Ježek Conservatory in Prague, he studied pantomime, dance and acting. Afterwards, he was employed as a dancer at the Liberec theater, working with Laura and her tigers. He is the initiator of the BAR Fantastic and Gas Theater project. It was part of the so-called Prague Five of the Sklep Theater.
In the 1990s he graduated from the Department of Screenwriting and Dramaturgy at the Film and TV School of the Academy of Performing Arts. He is involved in writing scenarios, directing documentaries where he is also a cameraman, and journalism. In several films, he starred in supporting roles. He is the author of the book Tajas full of islands (publisher D. Hrbek, Olomouc) and the music album Burning dreams.
After his conversion (in 2004 he was baptized by Tomáš Halík in the Church of the Most Holy Salvator), he devoted himself even more to Christian themes in his work. His film projects collaborate with him (as co-author, assistant director, actress) and his wife Jan Kristina Studničková.
On TV Noe, he became the moderator of the Angels Path, with more than stem parts.
