Film production · Cologne

Film production in Cologne. For films that travel far beyond Cologne.

the end of things is a film production company and content studio based in Cologne’s Südstadt district. We produce corporate films, commercials, employer branding films and social content for companies in Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia and across Germany. Our films have run on Prime Video, on TV and at international festivals, for Siemens, thyssenkrupp, NIVEA MEN, ASICS and Allianz.

Who it’s for

Marketing, communications and HR teams at companies in Cologne and the Rhineland, from mid-sized businesses to large corporations, and agencies looking for a production partner with its own creative direction.

A production company at home in Cologne

We’re based on Severinstraße in the Südstadt. From here we develop ideas and shoot in and around Cologne, and we handle editing and post-production ourselves. For companies in Cologne, that means everything is close by: getting to know each other, the location, the shoot. We shot the commercial for Siemens eMobility at several locations in and around Cologne, with actors: in a family home, at a Siemens site, in a car park with charging stations and out in the fields.
