Our Mission
Our mission is information and entertainment. The documentary film production of zb Media produces films on topics from history, science and technology. For television stations such as ZDF and ARD. We provide factual and competent information, illuminating backgrounds and contexts. And we visualise the drama of the people who made history.
Documentary films from zb Media move people. We produce films and documentaries on company history or digital projects for schools and museums for clients from business and society. From the manuscript to the finished product.
Making a film always involves a bit of madness. Let zb Media’s documentary film production inspire you!
