About Us

The world reveals itself only to curious and adventurous minds. And if you look at it with an eye for detail and time, you will discover a lot of unseen things. In 1958, for instance, a group of young friends went on a hike and discovered the Charnia – a fossil of an enigmatic extinct creature in the form of a fern leaf, which lived on the bottom of the sea millions of years ago. This unforeseen but historically and geologically significant incident is yet a small reminder that great stories sometimes just happen to be lying about only taking a group of attentive people to spread them.

With our work we would like to raise awareness for subjects from the fields of science, research, history, art and culture. Not only doing so by using facts, but by captivating storytelling and supporting animations in interesting, clever and humorously realised film media. Together with our clients, we work hand in hand to bring their individual stories, their innovative philosophies, their exciting insights and much more to the world, not only to inform but also to inspire people.

Our Partners and Clients

"Social

Media"

for non-profits

We know how difficult it can be to raise money for projects that have no direct financial value for investors.
There’s a question that often arises: Is it affordable or is the already tight budget better spent in another way?

But we truly believe that projects with a social or environmental impact deserve a place in the spotlight.
Especially in difficult times, it is important to spread some positive news to get people involved.
That’s why we offer non-profits our Social Media Deal:

The Idea

You bring the mission, we help shape the story. Together, we figure out how to tell it in a way that gets people to listen.

Cost Plan

No fixed prices, just pay what you can. Together, we find a plan that fits your budget, so cost never stands in the way of your message.

Realisation

Once the plan is set, we get to work. We create the content — you bring the change. Your story, ready to go out into the world.

We would like to encourage you, even with a very small budget, to share your ideas with us.

Our Commitment

Anyone working in the media industry knows that there is still a long way to go to reach truly sustainable production. But by acting responsibly, it is already achievable to make significant reductions.

We aim to keep our carbon footprint as small as possible – at our workplace and in every production process. We try to achieve this for instance by:

Sketch Recycle

Green Productions

We save as much energy as possible and use new energy-saving technologies or switch off electricity completely whenever reasonable. Instead of diesel generators, we rely on portable powerstations powered by solar panels. Documents such as scripts or call sheets are provided digitally. Catering and meals on set are vegetarian/vegan.

REDUCE, REUSE AND RECYCLE

One person’s trash is another person’s treasure! Leftover food, costumes, and props are donated when no longer needed. We use reusable dishes, recycle unavoidable waste, and prioritize second-hand options when purchasing new equipment.

CONSCIOUS TRAVEL

We prioritize eco-conscious practices by embracing remote meetings to minimize unnecessary travel. When travel is essential, we opt for train or bicycle journeys.
