We’re creative thinkers first, producers second. Concept, story, casting, design, sound, score – we cover every discipline it takes to make a great film, and we love connecting the dots between them. The best ideas don’t care which department they come from. Neither do we.

We make documentaries & feature films. Real stories, real people, real impact. Sometimes we experiment with AI as a creative tool from idea development to short film production.

We produce documentaries and feature films driven by the belief that the world is full of great stories and extraordinary people — and that film is the most powerful way to bring them to life.

We seek out intercultural collaboration — working with international partners, embracing different perspectives, and learning from the richness that comes from crossing borders. For us, co-production is not just a business model. It is a creative philosophy. Rooted in the Rhein-Neckar Region, we are proud advocates for one of Germany's most vibrant and versatile filmmaking destinations — inspiring filmmakers worldwide to discover what the Rhein-Neckar Region has to offer. Real stories. Real people. Told with passion, craft, and an open mind.

On this page you'll discover our current and completed film projects, our full production catalogue across features, documentaries, series and short films, the team and directors behind our work, and how we approach every project from first idea to final cut.

The Rhein-Neckar Region is one of Germany's most exciting and versatile filming destinations.

Beyond the well-known film cities of Berlin, Cologne, and Munich, the Rhein-Neckar Region gives your production a fresh and distinctive look.
