Stories that connect worlds.

We specialise in low to medium budget development – from an idea to the finessed script, with the possibility of co-production with Germany (Bavaria).

Film & Screenwriting

From the idea to the shooting script

Development is our core. We guide projects through every stage and bring them, together with partners, on their way to production.

01

Development

Ideas, outlines and treatments – we find the heart of a story and give it a structure that carries.

02

Screenwriting

From the first draft to the polished version: characters, dialogue and dramaturgy with lightness and humour.

03

Co-production

Low to medium budget projects with the possibility of co-production with Germany (Bavaria).

04

Publishing

Stories and books that reach beyond the screen – film production and publishing under one roof.

Mission

“Connecting worlds” – geographical, historical, cultural, social. And yes, we do demand that Happy End. Always.

Our content empowers women of all ages and ethnicities. “Connecting worlds” is our motto and plays in any directions you can think of: geographical, historical, cultural, social – plus the wide range of dividing emotional worlds waiting to merge.

Our mission is seduction with authenticity & laughter – one endearing story at a time. Recently we have focused on heartwarming comedies and branched out into exploring more mature main characters. Female lead characters aged forty to seventy wait in our portfolio to conquer the screen.
