Die Filmagentur

What Die Filmagentur does

Die Filmagentur is a Berlin-headquartered, founder-owned full-service video production agency operating as a GbR (civil law partnership) under the legal name F.Schmidt/A.Schulz GbR, founded in 2006 by Alexander Schulz and Fabian Schmidt. The firm produces corporate image films, recruiting videos, industrial films, product videos, explainer/animated films, social media content, branded entertainment, commercial spots, and TV/cinema advertising for enterprise, public administration, and nonprofit clients across the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). The service offering spans the full production lifecycle — concept development, filming (including drone and complex industrial-environment shoots), post-production (editing, animation, color grading, sound mixing), and multi-channel publishing — with modular pricing packages ranging from a basic entry tier (~€8,500 net) through complex multi-day productions (€30,000+) and imagefilm engagements up to €130,000 net.

The company combines traditional cinematography with generative AI tooling (Runway Gen-4, OpenAI Sora 2, Google Veo 3) for select workflows and AI avatar solutions, and has extended into livestream production (~€3,000 base system). Die Filmagentur sells exclusively through direct enterprise and government sales channels — no resellers, no marketplace listings — with founders acting as primary client contacts throughout engagements. Operations are supported by a multi-city footprint (Berlin HQ plus Dresden, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Munich, Cologne, Stuttgart, Leipzig, Zürich, Innsbruck) and a flexible model that scales production teams per project rather than building large fixed headcount. Marquee clients include DHL Express, Deutsche Bahn, Amazon, Otto Group, CureVac, EVONIK, Intersport, Glashütte Original, Carl Zeiss Stiftung, the German Federal Armed Forces, and the state of Sachsen-Anhalt.

The business model is project-based professional services revenue: fees are quoted per engagement on a modular basis, with the firm describing itself as belonging to the German market leaders in the corporate film production segment, having completed over 700 film projects since 2008 and citing combined founder experience across more than 2,000 productions. There are no external funding rounds, parent company, or subsidiary structure; the firm is fully founder-managed and privately held.
