COMPANY PROFILE - MMC MOVIES COLOGNE
MMC Movies Köln GmbH co-produces and co-finances national and international feature films for cinema and TV. As co-producer, we participate in, and contribute financially to, film projects. If required, we can also assume the executive production in
Cologne, Germany and Europe, bearing full financial responsibility—from pre-production to filming and post-production, up to execution.
As co-production partner and film financer, we make substantial contributions to your production, while offering you a wide range of financing options. These include private equity, regional, national and European funding, Gap-financing and pre-sales.
Thanks to our location in North Rhine-Westphalia, we also benefit from the support of the Film Foundation North Rhine-Westphalia—the Filmund Medienstiftung NRW—one of Germany’s largest regional film grant programs. On this basis, and together with you, we will draw up plans
for a reliable and efficient financing structure for your project.
Numerous national and international film productions have already benefited from MMC Movies’ superior location and the many years of
experience in the financing and realization of film projects. Parallel to the production activity, MMC Movies also provides services for film productions. Our production services include leasing of soundstages and production offices, as well as set construction, among others.
