We love our work because we are passionate about our projects and value the people we work with. All our films are passion projects; the themes touch us, the characters enrich us, the narrative form excites us, or we are enticed by the prospect of achieving the seemingly impossible. We are not afraid to go where it hurts because we seek the challenge.
This is what we stand for: 307.

She is responsible for multiple award-winning productions such as “Das weiße Kaninchen” (“The white rabbit”), “Eine gute Mutter” (“A good mother”), “Weil du mir gehörst” (“Because you’re mine”), and “Sterben ist auch keine Lösung” (“Dying is no solution either”).
