OUR COMPANY

Festschrift Films is an independent motion picture production company providing clients with a variety of film production services including development of scripts, pre-production, production and post-production.

The word “Festschrift”, originally German but used in English as well, has the meaning “a collection of articles published in honour of a scholar or writer”. It is cognate with “feast-script” which perfectly accords with the culture of Festschrift Films. As filmmakers, we base our projects on scripts in which narrative is king. Whatever the project – short film, feature film, documentary, television show or commercial – we always ensure for every client that a great story is told with the most professional cinematic techniques. For us, cinematic narrative is always the key to a successful project.
