Armen Antranikian is a German-born filmmaker based in Los Angeles, making films with visual precision and emotional depth.

His work has been featured by the American Cinematheque, Dazed, Nowness, Soho House, and Film Independent. He brings a distinct voice to both narrative and branded projects, and holds an MFA from the USC School of Cinematic Arts - where he received the Jack Nicholson and John Huston Awards. He previously studied at the University of the Arts London and was selected for the BFI London Film Festival's talent development program.

His breakout short film, The Girlfriend Game - a Vimeo Staff Pick - garnered millions of views and competed at the Champs-Élysées Film Festival. Commissioned by Britain's Channel 4, he created a piece on Stanley Kubrick that aired alongside the director's own work. He is completing a new short, In the Flesh, starring Nesta Cooper, Raymond Lee, and Mika Abdalla, while developing features and series.

Having grown up in Germany and lived in London and Los Angeles, he draws on his cultural background to shape stories with resonance and restraint - films exploring intimacy, identity, and the psychological tension between what we believe and what's real.
