Before founding “307 production GmbH” in Cologne in April 2022, Simone worked for many years as a producer and Head of Development. She is responsible for multiple award-winning productions such as “Das weiße Kaninchen,” “Eine gute Mutter,” “Weil du mir gehörst,” and “Sterben ist auch keine Lösung.” Recently, she directed, among others, the film adaptation of the Ramstein airshow disaster, the bestseller “Lost in Fuseta,” and the deaf drama “Du sollst hören.” Simone served as a jury member at the International Filmfest in Emden, the Max Ophüls Prize in Saarbrücken, and the Semi-Final Judgings of the International Emmy Awards. She loves challenges, and challenges love her back. As long as the stories Simone produces are relevant and profound, no obstacle is too high for her.

Since 2008, Michael Lehmann has been leading the Studio Hamburg Production Group (SHPG), under which twelve subsidiary and affiliated companies operate, specializing in both fiction and non-fiction. Alongside Simone, he serves as the managing director responsible for 307 production. The companies belonging to SHPG are known for world successes such as “Bad Banks,” “Unorthodox,” and “Ich bin Dein Mensch.”

In the realm of cinema, he has overseen literary adaptations like “Nachtzug nach Lissabon” and “Simpel,” as well as the biopic “Lindenberg! Mach Dein Ding.” His latest film, “Stella. Ein Leben.,” starring Paula Beer, will hit theaters in 2023. Among his recent TV projects are the international miniseries “Tod von Freunden,” the event film “3 ½ Stunden,” and the historical high-end drama series and German-Swiss co-production “Davos.” What is particularly close to his heart is inspiring young creatives to join the company. Michael is passionate about his job and loves entrepreneurial challenges – his motto “where there’s a will, there’s a way” is his driving force.

Over 20 years ago, Anemone completed her voluntary service in the Fiction department of Cinecentrum Hamburg and has been working as a producer since then, contributing to the production of multiple award-winning films such as “Weil du mir gehörst” or “Sterben ist auch keine Lösung.” What Anemone loves most about her job is the constant need to be flexible in response to changing situations. She often finds unconventional solutions when things seem to be falling apart. Additionally, she possesses a keen sense for stories and a profound knowledge of dramaturgy.

Cara studied Media, Communication, and Social Sciences in Trier. After her internship at the ZDF editorial office “Das kleine Fernsehspiel,” it became clear to her that she wanted to turn her passion for writing and filmmaking into a profession. She moved to Cologne, where she worked as a Junior Producer after completing her training. She was involved in projects such as “Sterben ist auch keine Lösung” and “Ramstein – Das durchstoßene Herz.” Since May 2022, she has been strengthening 307 production as a Junior Producer and team assistant. Cara is not easily disturbed – when things get hectic around her, she’s the one who keeps a cool head.
