Cyber Drama, Baby!
The biggest heists, unbelievable spy tales, cyber drama, hacking thrillers and the daily struggle with the digital.
We are a creative studio dedicated to finding outstanding stories in the digital world.
In a predominantly digital world, we have outstanding experience in turning non-tangible stories into entertainment. Where others see tech, we see exciting, human stories. Today, 50% of crime is digital. But not more than 5% of the crime in TV, literature or audio entertainment are cyber related. We develop entertainment that revolves around cyber crime and the risks and opportunities of technology. Always entertaining, with highest production value and strong partners.
hacker:HUNTER Wannacry was directed by Hugo Berkeley with Rainer Bock and Hugo Berkeley being Executive Producers. With this film, we introduced the genre of “True Cybercrime”.
Is Cyber not boring?
Cyber doesn’t have to be abstract. Cyber crime, future technologies, digital life, digital identity, privacy are all topics that don’t seem to be visual. We translate those into human stories. We find characters to who the audience can relate and demonstrate: cyber is personal, gripping, relevant and entertaining.
“Emotet vs The World Police” investigates the role of global cooperation in one of the biggest cybercriminal takedowns of all times. Huge and Rainer were Executive Producers.
But why work with you?
Cyber topics are considered as non-visual, complex and jargony.
We have years of experience in translating seemingly boring technology stories into TV-grade entertainment. With proven success!
