§ 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 Bytom for every project.

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 Bytom for every project. Bytom is a GZM city north of Katowice, about four and a half hours from Poznań. It is one of the oldest cities in Upper Silesia, with a historic centre that has undergone significant post-industrial transformation. For social or urban documentary briefs the contrast between Bytom's nineteenth-century architecture and its current economic reality is striking and underused visual material.

§ VII / VIIIWhere this lane works
§ VIII / VIIIFAQ
01Is Bytom a realistic base for an Upper Silesia documentary shoot?

It can be. Bytom's central position in the GZM means several other cities are within twenty minutes. Whether to base from Bytom or Katowice depends on which locations the brief prioritises; we map that in pre-production and choose the most efficient hub.

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.
