Film production in Düsseldorf.

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 Düsseldorf 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 Düsseldorf for every project. Düsseldorf shares the Rhine-Ruhr region with Cologne, so a single western trip from Poznań can serve both. The city's advertising, fashion, and trade-fair life suits brand and event briefs, and pairing it with a neighbouring shoot keeps the travel proportionate.

§ VII / VIIIWhere this lane works
§ VIII / VIIIFAQ
01Is Düsseldorf better booked together with another city?

Often, yes — Cologne is right next door, so a combined Rhine-Ruhr trip usually gives better value than a standalone Düsseldorf day. That said, if the brief is firmly single-site we will still quote it on its own, with the travel shown openly so you can decide.

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.
