About One Fine Day Films
ONE FINE DAY FILMS is an alternative film production company founded by Marie Steinmann & Tom Tykwer. The aim of the organization is to use the teaching of art and aesthetic principles to allow children and young adults in disadvantaged regions of our world to discover and explore their artistic talent and imagination.

In September 2008, Marie Steinmann & Tom Tykwer teamed up with Ginger and Guy Wilson from the Nairobi-based production company Ginger Ink to launch a project that expands the work of ONE FINE DAY. into the realm of cinema.

The concept for the pilot project SOUL BOY was to use a manageable budget to develop a film workshop in Nairobi at which Tom Tykwer would work as a creative supervisor with a small, professional crew and a large group of young trainees to make a medium-length feature film in Kibera, Nairobi’s largest slum. The main aim was to integrate young film enthusiasts from Nairobi, especially slum dwellers, into the practical work on an ambitious film project, thus providing them with professional knowledge, career perspectives and the inspiration to continue.
