TV series: 50 Kitchens, One City – Brazil

Produced for Deutsche Welle – with love, hunger and a camera crew.

»50 Kitchens, One Home« – Basiliscus Film produced 50 magazine features over nine months on behalf of Deutsche Welle for the lifestyle magazine euromaxx.

Stephanie Drescher was responsible for editing, research and organisation, whilst Uwe Schwarze handled camera work and post-production. Together, we filmed in 50 Berlin kitchens, wrote all the voice-over scripts and penned the text for the accompanying publication. 50 people, 50 recipes, 50 stories about home, cooking and life in one of the world’s most diverse cities.

TV and web series with the Brazilian restaurant Atelier Culinário

When Brazilians cook, they don't just cook – they celebrate. Capturing that energy without staging it was the real challenge of this episode. As a Berlin film production company, we know: the best moments happen when the camera simply rolls. »50 Kitchens, one City« is proof of that, fifty times over.

Sabine Hueck has a very special gift: she brings people together. People of all nationalities and generations. Her Atelier Culinário is an extraordinary place where you can enjoy Brazilian cuisine (every dish is delicious), where you can have engaging conversations and get to know interesting people. At the end of the day, you will leave this place more than happy. “For me, it's not just about food. It's about everything. For example, how to welcome people, how to cover the table, all these small details. It's social, as in a living room, like a big family“, says Sabine Hueck. And when you are with her, you feel exactly what she means.
