OutputHero films
The story of the company, told well.
The documentary, your vision, the problem you exist to solve, your Series A. Films that anchor your website, pitch deck and launch posts.
How we work
Made by filmmakers.
Made to sell.
Documentary filmmakers and award-winning cinematographers, cast to fit your team, with a partner at your table who knows what the film is for. You approve the look before we shoot, so you get a film you actually like.
Book a discovery call→Why we're different
Video shouldn't feel this hard.
Almost every team we work with tells us the same thing: video felt opaque. They didn't know how to brief it, didn't like what came back, and went round after round of changes trying to fix it. Then a file at the end, with no plan for what it should do. We built Studio Frix to fix that.

01
The problem
Nobody shows you how to brief or give feedback.
What we do
We teach it. Every project starts with a consultation on how to brief a film and how to give notes that move the edit forward. Your team keeps a Claude skill that guides them through both, long after we've wrapped.
-
02
The problem
You don't like what comes back.
What we do
You approve the film before we shoot it. That's what really drives endless feedback rounds: a film that doesn't feel like you. We pre-produce directly with your team, with references, a treatment and the look agreed up front, so you know exactly what you're signing off on and what you'll receive. Feedback then polishes the film instead of rescuing it.

The problem
Good crews you gel with are rare.
What we do
We cast from the film world. Years in Germany's documentary and film community give us access the videography world doesn't have: award-winning directors of photography, documentary filmmakers, editors and colourists. We pick the crew for your story and your people, so your team is at ease on camera. For Ninox, we shot with an award-winning DoP and filmmaker.

The problem
Videographers stop at the hand-off.
What we do
We take a seat at the table. Video is a commercial tool that supports sales, not a file to deliver and forget. With a background in growth and marketing, Dimi slots into your team, plans where every film goes, and stays on after delivery to help it perform.
The video partner that finally sees past its own vertical.
A seat at the table
Every film has a job. We agree it before we roll.
Video is a commercial tool. It sits next to your sales deck, your careers page and your investor update. So before anything is filmed, we sit down with your marketing team and decide what each film has to do, who it's for and where it will live.
Then we plan the interviews around a bank of questions written with your founders and team, and film long, unhurried conversations plus your company at work. One clear story, told for the audience that matters.

OutputEmployer branding
Your team, recruiting for you.
Life-at films and team portraits that show what it's really like to work with you. They keep drawing in the right people for a year or two.
OutputSocial
Cut with the same care.
Short versions of the strongest moments for LinkedIn, in 4:5 and 9:16, made with the same eye as the main film so it travels without losing its quality.

Every engagement is scoped to your goals. We walk through scope and pricing together on the discovery call. Not in Berlin? We work remotely too.
Remote
No crew in the room. Same studio, wherever you are.
Not every story needs us on site. For teams in other cities and time zones we work fully remotely: interviews recorded over Riverside, ads and motion graphics built from your product and your customers’ words, and an edit that keeps shipping.
Riverside interviews
We direct, you record. Founders, customers and experts filmed from their own desks in studio quality, every track recorded locally.
Ad creation
Square and vertical ads for paid social, built from customer quotes, product UI and your brand system, in variations ready to test.
Motion graphics
Product walkthroughs, kinetic type and data animated in code, so every new version stays on brand and ships fast.
Editing
Your footage or ours, cut into launch films, testimonials and social cutdowns, with reviews and sign-off on Frame.io.
Process
Most films land about a month after kick-off.
From brief to timeline.

Brief intake
Goals, audiences, deliverables, budget and deadline captured in one place, starting with a discovery call.

Pre-production
The brief becomes a plan: treatment, references, question bank, crew and schedule. You approve the look before anyone picks up a camera.

Production
Everyone aligned. Interviews, B-roll, and every card backed up on set before we wrap.
-

Post-production
Paper edit, cut, grade and sound. Feedback rounds refine a film you already like, so approvals don't stall.

Delivery
Approved films in every format you need, planned into your channels. Then we stay at the table to see how they perform.
The business case
A recruiter fills one role. A film keeps casting the net.
An external recruiter does one job, and once the hire is made the value is spent. A documentary campaign reaches hundreds of potential candidates for the next one to two years, and positions you as an employer worth joining.
The same footage then works for sales, partnerships, investor updates and even M&A conversations. One investment, many channels, and none of it goes stale in a few months.
Questions
Who's behind the camera?
Filmmakers, not videographers. Dimi leads every project and casts the crew from Germany's documentary and film community, with reach into Barcelona, the UK and Chile: directors of photography, documentary filmmakers, editors and colourists, several of them award-winning. You meet the key people before the shoot.
How much of our team's time does it take?
A few hours with founders and key people during pre-production, then the shoot window itself. We plan around your calendar so the business keeps running while we film.
Do you generate video with AI?
No. Everything on screen is real people in real places. We use AI behind the scenes to analyse transcripts, map stories to audiences and speed up pre-production and paper edits.
What if our team is camera-shy?
Most people are, at first. Long, relaxed conversations, soft light and a small crew help people forget the camera. The question bank means nobody is caught off guard.
Do you work outside Berlin?
Yes. We're based in Berlin and travel for shoots across Germany, Europe and further afield.
Can you produce in German?
Yes. We produce films in English and German, with subtitles for every platform.
