LODGER FILMS INC

What LODGER FILMS INC does

Lodger Films, Inc. is a Los Angeles-based, founder-led production company founded in 2006 by Georg Kallert (Director) and Rob Schroeder (Producer/Editor). The studio operates from a Silver Lake facility at 2538 Hyperion Ave #8 with a small core crew of approximately five, and delivers work across three integrated service lines: Film & Television production (features, trailers, series promos, documentaries), Branded content production (commercials, fashion films, brand films, PSAs), and Music production (music videos, soundtrack films, performance content). End-to-end capabilities span pre-production, production, and post-production.

The company's revenue model is project-based, generating one-time production fees rather than recurring or subscription revenue. Pricing is custom and undisclosed, with quotes issued by the founders after reviewing project briefs submitted via the company's website "Start a Project" intake form. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and consultative: briefs are reviewed by Georg and Rob directly, with a two-business-day response window and a scoping call for qualified opportunities. There are no public pricing tiers, no packaged offerings, and no recurring contracts.

Lodger Films serves three primary customer segments on a horizontal basis: studios and networks (Disney, Netflix, Universal, Sony Pictures, Hulu, Nickelodeon, PBS SoCal), global brands (Zegna, Lexus, Accenture, Airtable, Sprite, CNN), and music industry clients (RCA Records). The studio has been recognized with 5 Emmy Awards, 6 Telly Awards, 1 CINE Golden Eagle Award, and Los Angeles Area Emmys, and is privately held with no institutional funding, parent company, or external investment disclosed.
