Nowhere in Germany do so many planning practices compete in one market as in NRW. Professionally, little separates them. Visibly, almost nothing does.

Between refurbishment and structural change
The Ruhr has been rebuilding itself for decades: colliery sites become neighbourhoods, halls become universities, bridges and networks need renewing while traffic keeps running. That is design work under constraints nobody outside recognises. In the finished picture you cannot see them any more.
Then there is the sheer density. Multidisciplinary firms and large engineering companies sit alongside a great many small practices, and all of them bid for the same procedures. In that setting, a project list makes you interchangeable. Showing how decisions are made in your office does not.
What we produce for practices in NRW
Concept, shoot, edit, grade and sound all happen in house. One point of contact, no chain.
Practice portrait
Shows attitude and working method rather than a reference list. In a market this dense, that is the difference.
Construction documentation over months
On refurbishment and infrastructure projects this is the core: it records what later disappears behind concrete and cladding.
Employer branding
Large practices advertise with the same words. A film in which your team speaks sounds like nobody else.
Assets for consultation and press
From the same production: short explainers, stills, subtitled versions. For public information and editorial desks.

Our work for the building sector has so far been made mostly in Hesse. What transfers is the way we work. You can see it here at practices and contractors of comparable size and client structure.

What sets us apart
Cinema quality. Costed with a clear head.
Film industry standard meets a lean, vertically integrated production setup. That is what makes quality affordable. What others outsource at a premium has long been part of our team. It saves time, it saves money, and you can see it in the result.
Stories that stick.
Cinematic DNA in short formats. We condense messages down to what matters. Precise, emotionally charged and built on real narrative craft. Advertising that isn’t just watched, but felt.
From Gen Z. For every audience.
We speak today’s visual language – fluently and by conviction. From elaborate corporate films through lean video productions to high-energy content for social media, we know exactly what earns attention. Made by a young team that grew up with the “cloud”. Effective for every audience, every format, every platform.
QUALITY and SERVICE are written in capitals here.
No project is finished until both we and our clients are happy with it. That is why you will find no small print limiting the number of revisions. We are convinced that clear, transparent communication, a structured briefing and the shared ambition to create something lasting and convincing make clauses like that unnecessary.
Services at a glance
Our focus is outstanding audio-visual film, video and photo production for the construction, architecture and building services (MEP) sector. But we think beyond the camera. Through our established network of experts and partners we open up additional touchpoints for your company: from corporate websites and digital project presentations through trade fair appearances and print to targeted LinkedIn marketing for the construction industry. Together we work out which channels and formats reach your clients, investors and future specialists most effectively – and we bring the right specialists to the table to deliver the project to our quality standard.
Travel and process
We are based in Hanau am Main, not in NRW. We say so plainly, because it shapes the planning: instead of single days with half the yield, we schedule connected blocks of two to three days. We stay on site as long as filming runs.
That has a side effect for you: since we are staying anyway, several locations, sites and interviewees can be covered in one block. One effort yields a year of communication material. Travel and accommodation appear transparently in the quote.
Frequently asked questions

Let’s get goingWhy book a team from Hesse when NRW has hundreds?
Only if there is a reason. Ours is bundling: we come for two to three days and produce in one run everything you need for a year. For a single half day of filming you are better served locally, and we will say so.
We are refurbishing while the building stays in use. Is a film crew not hugely disruptive?
We work as a pair, with no cable runs and no fixed setup. Work carrying on is the better state on camera anyway. What we need is one contact and a briefing beforehand, not a cleared floor.
Can you follow an infrastructure project across two years?
Yes, and that is what the format is for. We fix from the start which stages of construction must be captured, and we come for those. In between we deliver short cuts, so communication does not wait two years for the result.
Do you also produce material for public consultation and the press?
Yes, out of the same production. A short explainer that makes a scheme understandable takes a lot of heat out of consultation procedures. Stills and subtitled versions come with it.

We produce across Germany. These states have their own pages with what is particular to each:

Maximilian Priess
Managing Director and Director
Cinema has fascinated us since childhood – not just as a medium, but as a total work of art. The interplay of every craft involved, the precision in the detail, the passion behind every frame: those are exactly the values we took as the foundation of Mastlicht Media, and we keep building on them every day. Seeing how this medium, combined with our craft, creates lasting value for our clients is what excites me anew every single day.
