What Here Film does

HERE Filmproduktionsgesellschaft mbH (trading as HERE Film) is a Munich-based, founder-owned full-service film production company established by Marcus Heckel and Christoph Redl. The company delivers end-to-end video production for corporate communications, product marketing, brand campaigns, and educational content, with a technical emphasis on Full CGI animation, 3D visualization, motion design, and post-production (editing, color grading, VFX, sound). Its core production capabilities center on creating imagery and animations entirely in computer-generated form (FullCGI), enabling product visualization, decomposition of complex products into components, and title/typographic animation work without physical studio or product handling constraints.

The company serves a horizontal mix of clients: large publicly traded corporations (Siemens AG, Porsche Design, voestalpine AG, WMF/Groupe SEB, Rodenstock), mid-sized German businesses (KMU/Mittelstand), startups, advertising agencies (Havas, Serviceplan, GMPF München), and government bodies (Bayerisches Staatsministerium für Ernährung, Landwirtschaft und Forsten; BioM/Bayern International). Repeat engagements with eyewear clients (Rodenstock, DeRigo, ProOptik) indicate a strong vertical franchise, while work spans pharma, automotive, sports (DFB, Formula E), consumer goods, and biotech. Revenue is generated through custom-quoted, project-based contracts for individual productions, with multi-year relationships and agency sub-contracting as supplementary channels.

HERE Film operates from a single Munich headquarters, delivers work primarily within Germany and the broader DACH region, and has completed over 500 projects cumulatively. The company has expanded modestly in 2024–2025 with new permanent hires and the launch of a branded podcast ('Was bewegt Dich?'). It is a privately held GmbH with no disclosed external investors or parent company.
