Theo Films is an international and independent production company focused on narrative and documentary films. We are based out of Berlin, Germany, and Los Angeles, California.
We are not limited to any genre. We love to create meaningful, entertaining stories and memorable characters. We love to make movies that we want to watch.
We also enjoy tacos. Perhaps that is irrelevant to our mission statement, but they are delicious, and not irrelevant to us.
