German production company — founded 2008, specializes in high-budget dramas and international co-productions. Behind several prestige series.
Anyone who has been on the set of a German prestige drama in the last 15 years has likely encountered them: a production company founded in 2008, which has since been systematically working on high-budget series and film productions. Prometheus does not operate like a classic German production house focused on quick commissioned projects – instead, the team continuously builds an infrastructure for ambitious, long-term endeavors.
The specialization clearly lies in international co-productions within the drama segment. On set, this means longer preparation phases, larger crew teams, and constant coordination between German and foreign partners. Anyone working here as a cinematographer or production manager should be prepared for complex scheduling requirements and multilingual consultations. The company functions less as a pure service company for external productions – rather, Prometheus develops and realizes its own projects, bringing together financing, creative aspects, and logistics.
The portfolio includes several successful series that have aired on German-language television and streaming platforms. These projects are characterized by high technical standards: multi-camera setups, established VFX partnerships, and well-funded post-production. Those hired by Prometheus benefit from this stable infrastructure – material management, editing suites, and grading capacities are available. This is not standard in the German production landscape.
For DoPs and technical departments: Prometheus projects require experience in larger production structures and a willingness to work under international compliance regulations. Financing partners from multiple countries mean additional documentary requirements. At the same time, this creates budgets that allow for reasonable shooting days, decent equipment, and sufficient time for setup – a luxury not every German project offers. Co-production experience is an advantage here, not a burden.
