About LattePlus Production
Who we are
Latteplus is an Italian visual production company based in Berlin. We are a team of specialists who have two things in common: We love audio-visual productions, and we have Italian roots.
You are looking for a co-producer for your latest film? Need help with a clip for your Instagram account? Want to work with us on a reportage or a documentary? Desperately looking for a shooting location off the beaten path? Let’s get in touch.
We have done a number of international co-productions and have an extensive network of partners all over Germany and Italy. We help you with location scouting, shooting, editing, visual effects and animation – often bridging the cultural gap between Italy and Germany, our second home.
Come over and have a coffee with us. We make the best espresso in town. And be assured that we are only happy with our work, if you are happy, too.
What we are really proud of …
In 2020 we co-produced Space Beyond, a documentary about the Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano and the European Space Agency’s space mission “Beyond”. Luca Parmitano is the first Italian Commander of the International Space Station (ISS) and gives a voice to the men and women travelling to space before, during and after their mission. Check it out on Sky Italia.
Before that, we dedicated a lot of time to “Butterflies in Berlin”, an animated short written by Monica Manganelli, focusing on gender identity during the holocaust. It won a number of awards all around the world and has been selected for more than 50 festival screenings. It was shown during the Memorial Week at the Italian Embassy in Berlin and screened at many schools in Italy and Germany. It will be broadcasted by RAI in Italy, Amazon VOD in the US and Tongariro in Poland.
