The main factor that makes the company unique – besides having survived plenty of ups and downs in the industry for more than 30 years – is the in-house creation of Intellectual Property, especially the creation of concepts, scripts, and art work for animation series that at the same time have a strong 360 degree marketing potential: Besides Gerhard Hahn himself, writers rooms and a comprehensive art department with character, set and prop designers as well as art directors contribute to the company’s asset portfolio in-house. Hahn Film productions feature a dedicated universal appeal, thus are commonly produced in the English language, targeting the international markets.

Although renowned as one of the leading animation studios in Europe, Hahn Film also is involved in the production of live action feature films such as DIE EX BIN ICH, VIDEO KINGS, DER SAMURAI or WIR WOLLTEN AUFS MEER, and most recently the thriller drama A YOUNG MAN WITH HIGH POTENTIAL, written and directed by Linus de Paoli, starring Adam Ild Rohweder, Paulina Galazka, and Amanda Plummer. Such undertakings will be strengthened in the future, including the development and production of TV drama series.
