Sprechen Sie deutsch? Parlez-vous français? Do you speak English? In Brazil, the answer to these questions is almost certainly going to be "não" or just a baffled look. Outside of educated circles in Brazil's largest cities, it's often difficult to communicate without speaking Portuguese. That's why the Story Productions' crew plays a vital role in so many foreign productions in Brazil.

Our network of fixers, researchers, camera assistants, sound technicians, field producers, editors and DOPs help clients bridge cultural as well as language barriers. Our contacts open doors. Our understanding of the way Brazil works, and our years of experience filming across the length and breadth of the country, guarantee that productions run smoothly, for every client, whether they speak French, English or German.

Bereits über Jahre arbeitet Story Productions mit deutschen Kunden wie RTL und Deutsche Welle zusammen. Dutzende Male haben wir den RTL Korrespondenten bei Drehs unterstützt, so auch während der FIFA Weltmeisterschaft 2014 und den Olympischen Spielen 2016. Lesen Sie dazu unsere Fallstudie darüber, wie Story Production unentbehrlich geworden ist für RTL’s Berichterstattung. Vor Kurzem haben wir ein Bildungs-Projekt fur das FWU gemacht, einen Dokumentarfilm für deutsche Schulen über Rio de Janeiro in der Doku-Reihe mega cities. Letzte Wocher erst waren wir in den Wäldern des Amazonas, um eine Vorort-Unterstützung für die berliner Produktionsfirma Story House zu leisten. Mehr über unsere Arbeit und Kunden unter.

Le fondateur de Story Productions, Nick Story, a grandi en France et le français est la langue de choix de sa famille multilingue. Il est donc naturel que les clients français fassent partie intégrante du travail de Story Production au fil des ans, y compris notre première coproductionl’an dernier avec la réalisatrice française Isabelle Gendre, explorant les pouvoirs de guérison des chamans brésiliens.
