While we may embrace the relentless creativity of 'French hours' in film, we're firm believers that even the most creative minds need a snack break—or three.

French Hours was born from the creative vision of Isabella von Ende, who studied fine and audiovisual arts. From a young age, she was passionate about photography and handled all her productions herself. Driven by a deep passion for visual storytelling, Isabella founded her production company, embracing the challenges and joys of bringing ideas to life on screen.

Over the years, her experience led her to refine her approach, rethinking strategies and pushing the boundaries of production. This journey culminated in the creation of French Hours—a fresh start with a renewed focus on innovation and collaboration.

Today, French Hours reflects Isabella’s growth and dedication, combining creativity with problem-solving to craft captivating visual stories that resonate worldwide.
