... because two is better than one
With years of flying solo in the film and TV production industry we finally joined forces to double our impact, working as a team. We can hardly tell if it was our passion for well developed and exciting concepts or our enthusiasm for film and TV in common that got us synced the very first moment we met. It’s both that got us addicted to the moving images. We are happy to share some of our work.

creativity
An idea is born
Copywriting
We develop concepts and transform them into scripts. Every brand, every social film and event needs an individual approach.
Standing out is what we want from our films for our clients.
Sometimes with a loud voice, sometimes with a whisper.
How would we do that?
The treatment
A treatment needs to be carefully crafted. This is where the idea come to life.
We think a treatment needs to be very visual and let the viewer understand the film, even without reading every last line. Only then he is motivated to understand the approach in depth.
The treatment is like the final film: it needs to keep the attention high.
directing
Long standing experience
Directing
Dirk is intrigued by the beauty of images and the worlds they create.
Working for acclaimed international brands is what he does.

M&F divisions
tv commercials & corporate film
Tv commercials
The big show
Commercials have always been an important channel to create brand awareness and get information to the customer quickly and effectively. Our vast experience and highly creative approach help creating excellent visual products that aim right at the target's heart.
Corporate film
Straight forward communication
Corporate film is a way to tell your clients what your product and your company is all about. In times of omni-present social media people are very used to moving images - film or video. This is much more appealing than just a simple image. Clients and business partners can quickly and effortless get the information you need them to have. Tailored the right way it can even go viral.
trade shows & events
Trade and Exhibition Shows
We create a uniquemultimedia experience
Exhibition booth and moving images: an exciting way of communicating for the client.
With our longstanding experience in realizing creative content for a vast variety of events we are able to help you create a unique user experience tailored especially for the client's business.
Scenic and immersive backdrops which seamlessly integrate in the exhibition booth’s structure and graphical layout as well as fine tuned video integration effectively adds value to the booth's design and the client's mission.
Small scale multimedia content
Augmented user experience
Add exciting and fascinating ways to communicate products and services. We can help you to enrich static and graphical information planned and designed for the client.
Animated information with charts and figures with rich informational content as well as commercials and emotionally suggestive product presentations in broadcast quality.
Striking content for a medium format
At the center of your communication
Important visibility for the clients - even in a relatively small form factor.
If you want to support a corporate message with either emotional content or by attracting attention with exciting multimedia, together we can develop the best strategy for exposed medium format projections. From subtle blending in to the booth's visual concept up to creating explicit visibility.
Offering video content in an concentrated but exposed position at the heart of your exhibition booth allows once more to give the possibility to enhance communication with the visitors.
Now you see me
Prominent and dynamic storefront
On the first glance your booth will stand out with large dynamic content for corporate and brand signatures.
This big banner solution is just amazing: involving, compelling and exclusive.
Besides showing the brand's visual identity the possibilities extend from scenic decorative uses up to showing off product information and even direct messages for visitors of the exhibition who are in range of sight.
Large scale projections or LED-wall integration
Immerse in emotions
Immersive backdrops change everything, literally and effectivley.
We can change the entire booth’s outfit with an immersive approach and large scale projections or LED walls - and animate it.
With our creative content which we produce in compliance with the client's design-guidelines it will be possible to inject life into exsisting hard printed graphics or even create a completly immersive approach with large scale projections of visual content.
art, culture & shows
cultural events - from small to huge
Going live with big emotions
Scenic and immersive multimedia is a fascinating tool to create emotions in an audience. We can amaze people, let them dream and generate valuable memories.
Don't trust your eyes
Projection mapping
Projection mapping is a very exciting way to communicate with an audience. It can be used for advertising, live concerts, theatre, gaming, decoration and anything else you can think of and of course for trade show booths. Aligning virtual content and the physical objects enable us to create a really unique viewer experience.
Video art
Non static ways to get to peoples hearts
Video art is an art form which relies on moving pictures in a visual and audio medium. Video art came into existence during the late 1960s and early 1970s as new consumer video technology became available outside corporate broadcasting. Video art can take many forms: recordings that are broadcast; installations viewed in galleries or museums; works streamed online, distributed as video tapes, or DVDs; and performances which may incorporate one or more television sets, video monitors, and projections, displaying ‘live’ or recorded images and sounds
