Your Berlin production company — from the airport.

Both, depending on what you need. When a London or NYC agency comes in with DP, stylist, talent and mood board locked, we run service production — crew, permits, kit, studio, vans, catering, fixing. When the brief is “we need a Berlin campaign, help,” we produce end-to-end including casting and post-logistics. We’ll flag which mode suits your brief on the first call.

Emails answered same business day, usually faster. Brief in by Monday morning — quote, crew list and permit flag-list back by Tuesday. Recce reel with stills, video and geolocated pins within 48 hours of brief confirmation. We don’t run through a middle layer, so there’s no translation delay.

Our producer desk is staffed in-house — English-speaking, Berlin-resident. Behind it sits a deep freelance roster of DPs, gaffers, grips, HMU, stylists and DITs we have actually worked with on a shoot in the last 24 months — no directory-scraped names. We publish a named crew list with every quote, including roles and previous reference shoots.

Often no. Berlin’s Kleindrehgenehmigung regime lets a team of five or fewer with a single tripod shoot on most public footpaths without a filed permit, as long as you’re not blocking traffic, using additional lighting, or on sensitive sites (Tempelhof, Teufelsberg, rail property, BVG infrastructure). We’ll assess on the first call — if your brief fits the exemption, we say so and don’t charge for a permit we don’t need to file.

Yes — these three are where the friction lives. Tempelhof is a separate application to TempelhofProjekt (15 or more business days; hangar use is a different tier than airfield). Teufelsberg requires Berliner Forsten plus operator sign-off, typically 10–15 days with an access window negotiated per shoot. Spree waterline depends on Bezirk — Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg for Oberbaumbrücke, Mitte for Museumsinsel.

We don’t own a stage — we have standing accounts with three Kreuzberg and Wedding studio partners (daylight, cyc, seamless) and book through them as needed. Our Kreuzberg base is the producer’s office, meeting room and prep space, not a shoot floor. If you need a booked-out studio for more than three consecutive days, we’ll introduce you to the partner direct so you’re contracting the floor without us in the middle.

Frequent. One contract across Berlin plus Ibiza, Berlin plus Mallorca, or Berlin plus Hamburg and Leipzig on a road-trip brief. Same producer, one NDA, one invoice. Typical pattern is a lookbook combining a Kreuzberg street-story with an Ibiza finca resort beat — we crew both cities separately but manage contracts and wrap on one thread.

Default currency is euros with German tax treatment handled correctly — reverse-charge applied for qualifying EU B2B clients. We can invoice in other major currencies on request. NDA signed before any brief goes on paper. Standard terms apply; a partial advance is required on rush windows under 10 business days.

We ship a baseline carbon tally on every production — crew km, kit freight, studio energy, catering weight — using the AdGreen schema most agencies already use. Fuller Albert or AdGreen reporting on request, typically for brands already reporting scope-3 emissions. We don’t greenwash — we tell you what we can reduce and what we can’t.
