Manefilms Gmbh

What Manefilms Gmbh does

MåneFilms GmbH is a German boutique film production studio headquartered in Sankt Augustin, with an additional studio facility in Düsseldorf. Founded in 2022, the company produces commercial video content — corporate image films, product clips, testimonial videos, recruiting films, and narrative/short documentary projects — for B2B clients and select non-profit organizations. Its core technology stack comprises professional cinema camera equipment (RED Monstro 8K VV, Blackmagic URSA, drones) and industry-standard post-production workflows (DaVinci Resolve for editing, color grading, sound design, and music composition), with the company's primary differentiator being creative talent and storytelling craft rather than proprietary technology.

The company serves a diversified client base across Germany and select international markets (Switzerland, Ethiopia, Croatia), spanning industries including telecommunications (Mobilcom Debitel), retail (ALDI-Sports), consumer electronics (Nothing Phone), airlines (Condor), automotive (Royal Motors Kempen), tourism (MySwitzerland), healthcare, finance, fashion, and non-profit sectors. Notable credentials include the TopSpot Award 2022 for the MySwitzerland/SwissTourism film about Kanton Valais, an extensive multi-deliverable advertising campaign for ALDI Sports App launch, and documentary work in Ethiopia.

MåneFilms operates on a project-based professional services revenue model with publicly disclosed budget tiers ranging from €5,000-€10,000 (entry-level) to above €25,000 (enterprise/high-end campaigns). All services are delivered directly to clients through inbound inquiries via the company website, email, phone, and a 15-minute introductory consultation. The company is led by Managing Director Tom Pfeil, with Maximilian Jonas Müller serving as Director of Photography and editorially responsible. A subsidiary service offering, GBC Media, operates under GBConsulting. The firm has 1-10 employees and operates as an independent, founder/owner-operated entity with no disclosed external funding.
