Berlin - Photo & Film Production

“Watchmen is a boutique film production and services company based in Berlin. Since 2004 our mission is to bring ideas to life - in the vast and inspiring field of cinema, television, film, advertising, brand culture and storytelling. With both legs on the ground, we can stand firm for our directors and clients. As a full-service production company, we support clients from around the world, when shooting in Germany.

We are fast, reliable, highly experienced and creative. We take great pride in the work we've produced for brands like Apple, Chevrolet, Converse, Hyundai, Kia, Korean Air, LG, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Samsung and many more. Our team ensures that craft and quality are top-notch, and we leverage our vast regional network and location knowledge. After being around for 15 years, there's little we haven't done. And if there is, we're always up for a challenge.

We focus on director-driven projects with unique and intelligent stories and a high aesthetic value for the national and international markets. While we nurture our long-term collaborations we are always seeking for young talents and new stories.

We created our feature films and documentary department in 2014. Our first international co-production was Karim Ainouz's ‘Futuro Beach’, which premiered at the 64th Berlinale and won several international awards. Our second feature was ‘The Surface of Things’ by Nancy Biniadaki, which premiered in Thessaloniki International Film Festival 2017 and received the Newcomer Director's Award in Athens Film Festival."
