"If it can be written or thought, it can be filmed."
Stanley Kubrick
Feature Film
Telling stories - arousing emotions - entertaining people, that is the primal source of filmmaking and the feature film its original form. Here East End Film has its roots.
Series
Series are the serialized novels of the 21st century. Modern storytelling cannot ignore this form of narration, and series concepts also find a home at East End Film.

A rolling stone gathers no moss! At East End Film we also deal with new technologies like 360° video, VR and social media.

Telling relevant things emotionally!
East End Film pursues the goal of offering viewers films that challenge and touch them both emotionally and intellectually. The young and ambitious production company was founded in 2011 by siblings Tommy and Elaine Niessner. The selection of their material is strongly oriented towards the topics dealt with in it. The aim is to create an emotional approach to topics of social relevance.
In 2013, East End Film co-produced with Oliver Damian of 27 Films their first feature film directed by German-Georgian Dito Tsintsadze. The international co-production was released in German cinemas in June 2016 under the title “God of Happiness” and made it to the pre-selection for the German Film Award in 2017.
In recent years, East End Film has also produced several very successful short films in various genres. In 2017, they produced OFFSCREEN, ZDF’s first fictional series for funk, the youth online channel of the public broadcaster. In November 2018, the shooting of “Borga” took place, in co-production with Chromosomfilm and in collaboration with the debut-in-three editorial team of SWR and arte, funded by MFG, Hessenfilm, DFFF and BKM reference funds.
Currently, the production of the 360° VR project “People2People” is in the pipeline, also supported by MFG through a prototype grant from DCF. For “Roxy”, East End Film has already been awarded script, PV and production funding by MFG.
GUARDIAN is currently in a hot phase of post-production and with your help can be completed in the coming months. Check out our crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo!
