Film production in Bochum.

Documentary-led film with cinema discipline and multilingual delivery — produced on location and finished in our own edit room.

§ II / VIIIWho we are

Documentary film house. Real proof. One team.

ALN is a documentary film house based in Poznań. Our films have reached over 20 million views, aired on TVP and EWTN, and played a 12-screening theatrical tour across 8 cities. We handle strategy, cinematography, and the web home the film lives on — all under one editorial roof. That full team travels to Bochum for every project.

§ IV / VIIIDeliverables

What you get.

the main film

Documentary feature or short

A finished documentary built around a real story — research, interviews, observational filming, archive, and a graded master ready for screening, broadcast, or your own platform.

PL · DE · EN

Multilingual master + cutdowns

The film delivered with separate language stems and short cutdowns for press, partners, and social — the language plan locked before the shoot, never bolted on afterward.

perpetual

Library-grade archive

Raw interviews, ProRes masters, transcripts, and a clear naming convention handed over so the material outlives the campaign and stays usable for years.

§ V / VIIIHow we work

The same production process, everywhere.

  1. 01

    Brief

    A structured brief defines audience, scope, language plan, and the one decision the film must move — most of it resolved before we travel.

  2. 02

    Plan

    Schedule, crew, access, and the travel block are locked together, so the days on the ground are spent shooting, not improvising.

  3. 03

    Shoot

    A lean crew, controlled light, and clean sound — with production notes that keep the edit fast once we are back in the room.

  4. 04

    Deliver

    Review links, masters, cutdowns, captions, and an archive handoff — delivered on a shared drive with a naming convention you own and can reuse.

§ VI / VIIITravel & logistics

Poznań-based. We travel to you.

We are Poznań-based and travel to Bochum for every project. Bochum occupies the centre of the Ruhr, roughly equidistant from Dortmund and Essen — about 650 km from Poznań. For culture, theatre, and music briefs (the Bochum Schauspielhaus is one of Germany's flagship stages), a Ruhr-wide trip comfortably folds Bochum in alongside other locations without adding meaningful extra distance.

§ VII / VIIIWhere this lane works
§ VIII / VIIIFAQ
01Do you cover theatre and performing-arts shoots in Bochum?

Yes. Stage and rehearsal filming requires sensitivity to light levels and sound; ALN's Classics register is built for exactly this — we work quietly, don't interrupt rehearsals, and deliver footage that reads well on broadcast or streaming platforms. Access agreements with venues are handled in pre-production.

02How long does a documentary film take from brief to delivery?

It depends on scope, but a focused documentary typically runs eight to sixteen weeks: brief and research, a planned shoot block, then edit with two structured feedback rounds. Multi-location or archive-heavy films take longer; we set a realistic lock date in pre-production and hold it.

03Who owns the footage and the final film?

You do. On delivery you receive the masters, the cutdowns, and the archive files outright, with a naming convention you can reuse. We keep a backup for safety, but the work and its rights are yours — there is no licensing trap.
