What filmriss. does

filmriss. (legal entity Filmriss GmbH) is a privately held Austrian boutique film and photo production studio headquartered in Amstetten, Lower Austria (Mostviertel region), founded in 2016. The firm produces commercial films, image videos, recruiting videos, TV spots, and social media content for brands and organizations, with documented work spanning luxury watchmaking (Rado, Glashütte Original), industrial manufacturing (Doka, Geberit), electric mobility and motorcycles (NIU, Brixton, Malaguti), healthcare (Mavie, Landsteiner/ERICH), music (Warner Music/PÄM), and regional SMBs (Feinbäckerei Matthias Krenn). Production has been executed internationally across locations including the Sahara desert, Paris, Dolomites, Croatia, Berlin, and Málaga, even as the company remains rooted regionally.

The technical stack centers on professional film and photo production using industry-standard equipment including ARRI cameras and ARRIMAX 18kW lighting, with capabilities spanning Super8 and 35mm film formats, virtual production studios, and 3D environment design for mixed-reality productions. The core service offering is end-to-end: concept development, principal photography, and post-production including editing, VFX, color grading, and sound design. The team is a small, named core of seven specialists (including three managing directors Felix Maderthaner, Jonas Eckert, and Raphael Pachner) covering ideas, cameras, equipment, color, sound, frame work, and budgets, positioning the firm as a tight creative unit rather than a scaled agency.

The commercial model is project-based B2B professional services with custom quotes per engagement and milestone payment terms (50% on order, 25% pre-shoot, 25% on delivery). Distribution is direct via the company website and email ([email protected]), with social channels (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn) used as portfolio marketing. The company has no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and no subsidiaries; ownership rests with the three managing directors. filmriss. is therefore best characterized as a founder-owned creative boutique serving enterprise clients with premium production needs, competing on portfolio quality and team cohesion rather than scale.
