Our Services:
Production of film and photo content with purpose and impact
-
We produce content with strong, genuine stories and to the highest ethical standards: project documentaries, image clips, film series or compelling social media shorts.
-
We have been working successfully for years in a global team of young, renowned filmmakers, photographers and journalists from the fields of environment & climate, human rights and youth empowerment.
-
We are pioneers in ethical story telling, informed consent and transparency. Our experience ensures a positive lasting impression of your engagement at the production sites and the minimization of communication risks.
Concepting development of visual impact campaigns
-
We develop the right video formats for your communication.The focus is always on the message. Video formats are quickly pulled out of the drawer and implemented. But do they work? Our formats are always an expression of the positive corporate impact.
-
Longer video formats require greater involvement on the part of the target group, but with the right strategy they can have a lasting positive impact on the corporate narrative.
-
Short, catchy clips are a must - but they don't just bring the short attention: shorts can direct users to the deeper story.
Consulting and workshops on storytelling with a focus on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI)
-
We offer highly efficient and inspiring half-day workshops based on practical experience in filmmaking and campaigning. From our many years of collaboration, we have not only become acquainted with many perspectives from organizations, companies and the most diverse film protagonists. In extensive evaluations, we have been able to gain valuable insights from a variety of perspectives, which we convey in a very concrete way with high added value for your company.
-
How can an emphatic story convey a message in a sustainable way? In this workshop, we will develop new ways of communicating that will retain your target group in the long term.
-
How can a European organization communicate about the Global South without losing sight of the bigger picture? The public is more attentive and sensitive than ever. That's a good thing! We go into the depths of ethical communication and provide practical, individual recommendations for action.
In times of new global challenges, we tell stories that point to a positive and inspiring future.

Three reasons to choose us as your partner:

3. Expertise
We are involved in every project with a high level of understanding of the topic, an understanding of social debates and a sensitivity for ethical content production.
Why new narratives are needed:
The framework of our social actions is becoming increasingly complex and less clear. We are experiencing upheavals, major global challenges and the compelling expectation of Generation Z that we as a society finally set the course for a viable and liveable future.
We accompany your contribution and your actions with stories that move people.
Action and communication in harmony are the opposite of mere marketing. If the purpose is not just the new buzzword that is being bandied about, but an attitude that the company and its employees stand behind, then that is exactly what we bring to the target group in sound and vision. With creativity, sensitivity and stories that touch the heart and stay in the mind.
