With us, you’ll find trust and quality
Basiliscus Film is a Berlin-based film production company that gives corporate films, TV reports, documentaries, and event videos the depth of television journalism. Founded in 2001, the studio has been recognised with several Intermedia-Globe Gold and Silver Awards at the World Media Festival. Its films are made hands-on: the people who develop your story are the ones behind the camera and in the edit — in German and English, for clients across Berlin, Germany, and beyond.
For over twenty years we have filmed for broadcasters, companies, associations, and institutions – corporate films, industrial films, TV reports, event films, and social media content. What works differently here than at a classic advertising agency: we show what is actually there, instead of claiming what ought to be. Our background is in journalism – we know how to listen, look closely, and find the heart of a story. We shoot it ourselves, behind the camera and in our own edit suite.
Award-winning films
Our productions have aired on public broadcast television and won Gold and Silver at international festivals. We hold every commission to that same standard – from a corporate film to a single social media clip.
Stephanie Drescher
Writer | Director | Producer
Before setting up her own business, Stephanie worked for SPIEGEL TV for eight years – as a writer and editor on programmes ranging from two-minute news reports to four-hour documentaries. Prior to that, she completed a trainee programme at Pro Sieben/Sat 1 and N24, with placements in Hamburg, Frankfurt, Berlin, Munich and Washington. This background in investigative and narrative TV journalism is evident in every project produced by Basiliscus Film.

At the same time, he was already working as a cameraman for n-tv, N24 and Pro Sieben/Sat 1, as well as a photographer for Berlin daily newspapers. Thirty years as a cameraman and post-production manager have taken him to almost every corner of the world.
