Documentaries & Behind the Scenes
Real stories need attention, not staging at any cost. We follow people, projects and processes to reveal what goes into the result, taking an up-close approach with a cinematic visual style.
For companies and brands looking to explain the context, follow developments or give their audience an honest look behind the scenes. We combine observation, interviews and a clear narrative structure.
We produce in Mönchengladbach, Düsseldorf and Cologne, across North Rhine-Westphalia and throughout Germany.

How it works

Production
We document the agreed situations, conduct interviews and respond to the story as it unfolds on location.
Post-Production
We review the footage, shape the story in the edit and agree on the final version with you.

FAQ
Your questions.
How much of a documentary is planned in advance?
We prepare the subject, access, guiding questions and logistics. We deliberately leave room for real situations rather than scripting every action.
What makes a good subject for a behind-the-scenes film?
Creative processes, product development, a campaign shoot or everyday work can all be good starting points. What matters is which story is relevant to your audience.
How do you handle sensitive areas within a company?
We clarify in advance what can be shown, what access is needed and who grants approvals. These agreements guide the shooting schedule and the edit.
Can a documentary involve multiple production dates?
Yes. If the story unfolds over a longer period, we plan suitable filming dates and the production scope together.
