Moviepool

What Moviepool does

Moviepool is a subsidiary production brand of the Tellux Gruppe, one of Germany's largest independent film and media conglomerates. Within the Tellux portfolio, Moviepool is positioned as a member label alongside sister companies including tellux film, tellux next, provobis, ifage, storytelle, mideu films, Alpha Entertainment, tellux dresden, IT Media, crossmedia tv, and astratel. The label is credited with the documentary feature '2Unbreakable' (directed by Maike Conway, released 05/2024), which is the only specific production attributed to Moviepool in the available source material — suggesting focus on the documentary vertical within the group's broader multi-genre output spanning fiction, docs, kids, interactive, and classics.

The Tellux Gruppe, in turn, operates from offices across 12 German cities (Berlin, Bonn, Dresden, Erfurt, Halle, Köln, Leipzig, München, Stuttgart, Hamburg, Wiesbaden) plus Vienna, signaling a DACH-market production and distribution footprint. Moviepool appears to function as one operational label within this larger group infrastructure, leveraging shared production resources, talent relationships, and broadcaster/streaming distribution channels of the parent. The Tellux Gruppe is described as privately held.

The company's revenue model, pricing, product catalog beyond a single documented title, customer roster, headcount, management, funding history, and technology stack are not disclosed in the available source material. There is no public app, API, or software product referenced. The limited evidence base constrains the depth of any product, pricing, or GTM assessment; the available facts support the conclusion that Moviepool is best characterized as a small production label operating within a private German media group, with documentary content as its observable specialty.
