The studio

The end of bloated teams, detours and hidden fees.

The beginning of films people want to binge-watch.

We’re a small team with roots in feature film and marketing. We write, develop and produce films and content that don’t feel like advertising. With a direct line to the creative director, and crews exactly as big as the project needs. From Cologne, for brands across Germany and internationally.

How we work

AI you can’t see.

GenAI content is flooding everything, and audiences spot the generic look instantly. We use AI differently: as a tool, with a director in charge. Shot, generated or both, the result looks like film, not like a prompt.

Real where it matters

People buy from people. When closeness, trust and faces carry the story, we shoot with real people in real places. No stock footage, no avatars you can tell are avatars.

Generated where it serves the story

Scenes that can’t be shot, worlds, backgrounds, product shots, entire spots and clips: we create them with AI when it moves the project forward. With concept, grading and sound, so it looks like your brand, not like the model.

Secure and documented

Your material stays in a European cloud and isn’t used to train third-party models. Every use of AI in the project is documented and labelled wherever your guidelines or the law require it. In charge: Julian Pohl, AI & Data Lead.

37%

37% estimated AI share per project, across concept development, previs, editing, clean-up and language versions. That’s why our fixed prices are where they are. More on AI

Process

From first enquiry to final sign-off.

Most projects take two to six weeks from briefing to delivery. Social is faster: with a Content Day, there are just 48 hours between the briefing and the first clips.

  1. 01

    Briefing (day 0)

    A 30-minute video call. Goal, target audience, channels, budget range.

  2. 02

    Roadmap (48 hours)

    A proposal with a fixed price, schedule and process. In writing, easy to follow.

  3. 03

    Concept (week 1)

    Storyline, look, protagonists. If the concept doesn’t convince you, you only pay for the concept.

  4. 04

    Shoot (weeks 2–3)

    Small crews on location, creative direction remotely or on set. Coaching for everyone in front of the camera.

  5. 05

    Post & delivery (weeks 3–6)

    Editing, grading, sound, subtitles, all formats. Two feedback rounds included.

FAQ

The most common questions.

All questions

What do you charge for a corporate film?

Our Brand Film costs a fixed €9,800 net (excl. VAT): concept, two shoot days, a two-to-three-minute main film, testimonials and three social cutdowns. Larger campaigns start at €19,500. Within 48 hours of the briefing, you get a roadmap with the exact price.

How do you use AI, and what happens to our material?

AI supports our work in concept development, previs, editing, clean-up and language versions. Where it helps the story, we generate scenes, backgrounds or entire clips, with direction and grading, so nothing ends up with that generic look. Your material stays in a European cloud and isn’t used to train third-party models, and you get an overview of where AI was used in the project.

How long does a project take?

Most productions take two to six weeks from briefing to delivery. A Content Day is done in two weeks; a documentary takes three to six months. From the start, you get a fixed schedule and production plan.

You’re in Cologne, we’re not. Does that work?

Yes. Creative direction happens remotely, and we shoot where you are: anywhere in Germany and internationally. Small crews travel, and the briefing is a video call.
