What off studios GmbH does

off studios GmbH is a Munich-based, full-service film and photography production company founded in 2018, operating from Dachauer Straße 112h and serving global enterprise brands and creative agencies across the DACH region and Europe. The company delivers commercial campaigns from initial storyboard through final delivery, offering six interconnected service lines: Full Service Film Produktion, Service Produktion (international campaign coordination), Konzeption (creative concept development), Fotografie (photography), Postproduktion (editing, color grading, sound design, motion graphics), and Grafikdesign/Animation. Production is anchored on an in-house RED Komodo 6K camera system and in-house editing suites, enabling tight control over shoot quality and post workflows, supplemented by a curated freelance network of directors, photographers, and editors including individually award-recognized talent such as Ewelina Bialoszewska (#1 Germany, The One Club, 2023).

The client roster is enterprise-weighted and includes BMW (multi-season Lifestyle, M, Golf, Classic, and KITH collaborations), Adidas, Lidl, American Express, Bugatti, Polestar, NIO, Salesforce, Mercedes Benz, Marc O'Polo, Skechers (via 11teamsports), BSTN, KICKZ, Apollo Optik, Heimkapital, Kruut Organic, and SOS Kinderdorf, with recurring agency channels through Serviceplan, thjnk, Condé Nast (GQ/Vogue), Bureau Borsche, M&C Saatchi, Mawave, and PACIFIC UEG. Revenue is generated on a project-by-project basis with milestone billing (50% at pre-production, 50% at delivery) plus published surcharges for overtime, nights, Sundays, and holidays, and graduated cancellation fees of 35–100% depending on timing. The company is privately held and founder-controlled by three Managing Directors — Kevin Riedl (Director), Lucas Bergmüller (Director of Photography and Editor), and Simon Mairhofer (Executive Producer) — with Benedikt Lindner handling Camera and Post Production as the fourth core contributor.

The company's strategic positioning rests on a 'kreative Community' model that treats clients as long-term creative partners, supporting multi-year flagship engagements such as the BMW Lifestyle cycle and award-recognized co-developments like the 2023 Cannes Lions Gold and Bronze-winning AIZOME Wastecare campaign with Serviceplan Innovation. Operating geographies span the DACH core and select European service-production engagements (notably into the UK), with no disclosed institutional funding, acquisitions, or AI/ML productization evident in the available data.
