People remember stories, not claims
Feeds are full of messages that blur together. A real story with a real person is the one thing people stop for and talk about afterwards.

Who We Are
Founded by Maik, we make documentaries and short portraits about people with extraordinary stories — athletes who push limits, founders who risked everything, spiritual seekers, and anyone whose journey deserves to be seen.
We film the highs, the lows, and everything in between. If you have a story — reach out.
Selected Work
Real people. Real journeys. No fiction.
Why film your story
Every person, team and brand carries a story that nobody has told properly yet. A film is the one format that shows it, in a way people feel instead of skim. Here is why it is worth doing.
Feeds are full of messages that blur together. A real story with a real person is the one thing people stop for and talk about afterwards.
The main film and its cut-downs come out of the same shoot: landscape for your website, vertical for social, square for everything else.
Hearing someone tell their own story, in their own words, builds more trust than any copy line can. Film carries voice, face and emotion.
Once it is finished it does not expire with a campaign. It stays on your site, in your pitches and in your social posts for years.
The things people ask before we start. Anything missing? Write a short message and you get a straight answer.
Get in TouchDocumentaries, short portraits, athlete and extreme-sports stories, brand films and concert portraits. What they share: a real person, a real stake, and something worth watching.
No. We start with a conversation, find the story together and shape it. Some of the best moments can't be scripted, so we leave room for them.
It depends on scope. A short film usually runs several weeks from the first conversation to the final cut. The shoot days are only one part of that; planning and editing take their share.
That depends on length, shoot days, locations and crew. The project calculator gives you a first estimate in a few minutes, and a short call gives you a precise offer.
Everywhere. One shoot becomes a main film plus cut-downs for your website, social media and events, in landscape, vertical and square formats.
Yes. We're based in Germany and travel for the right story. Travel is planned into the offer, so there are no surprises later.
What people say
Maik has a rare ability to capture the essence of what we do and translate it into visuals that actually resonate. The final film exceeded every expectation.
He came, he watched, he filmed. What came back was something we couldn't have scripted — honest, cinematic, and completely us.
From first conversation to final cut — Maik understood what we were about before we'd even explained it. That's rare.
