Filming for our first feature film DIE DINGE ZWISCHEN UNS (written and directed by Iris Janssen, co-produced by the Academy of Media Arts Cologne) ended in July. The project was funded by the Filmstiftung NRW. Now, we are looking forward to post-production!

The team of the film WOHER ICH KOMME, based on the eponymous novel by Alexa Hennig von Lange, has successfully taken part in EKRAN, the European training programme for film professionals. In addition to receiving excellent consultation on the script, director Marcel Ahrenholz and his DoP Andreas Köhler got the chance to try out several scenes.

The MADE IN GERMANY Filmproduction has been awarded a scholarship by the business incubator AV-Gründerzentrum. As a consequence, our film production company is getting support from the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and the Filmstiftung NRW.
