Kick-Film GmbH

What Kick-Film GmbH does

Kick-Film GmbH is a Berlin-based film production company operating under the brand "KICK FILM Berlin." The company produces custom film content across four primary verticals: cultural and current affairs documentaries (Kultur & Zeitgeschehen), scientific documentaries (Wissenschaft), explainer films (Erklärfilme), and corporate image films (Imagefilm). Its offerings are delivered as project-based production services rather than a unified software platform, with each vertical serving distinct institutional, broadcast, and corporate clients.

The company's value proposition centers on professional film production services spanning multiple content verticals, with films likely delivered to clients for distribution through broadcast, streaming, or institutional channels. The business model is project-based, with no publicly disclosed pricing or contract structures. The website (kick-film.de) serves as the primary digital presence and showcases the portfolio through PDF-based catalog sections for each content category, including a live "Aktuell" (current productions) section and a "Preview" showreel.

The company is registered as a private limited company (GmbH) in Germany. No information about investors, shareholders, management team, headcount, or financial performance is available from public sources. There is no documented software platform, API, or proprietary technology stack — the company is a services business. The only documented distribution channel is direct engagement with institutional clients requiring custom film production, with no disclosed partnerships, agency relationships, or platform integrations.
