Butterfilm is a dynamic film and VFX production company based in Cologne, Germany. We create and (co)produce fictional content with strong voices and appealing look & feel for the big and small screen. Butterfilm was founded in 2015 with a scholarship from the Mediengründerzentrum NRW and since 2016 has been owned and run by VFX-artist and writer/producer Judith Weiler. 

In addition to numerous socials, shorts, and service productions, Butterfilm produced two half-hour comedies, STRAIGHT OUTTA NORDSTADT (2015) by Mo Jäger and IN THE LIGHTHOUSE (2018) by Felix Schon, both of which received support from the regional Film and Media Fund NRW and successfully toured the German and international festival circuits. In 2019, the indie art house drama MÄR, co-produced by Butterfilm and directed by Katharina Mihm, premiered at Filmfest München. 

Among other projects, we are currently developing the serialized comedy VIOLETTA (with German pubcaster WDR) and the romantic thriller series OMERTÀ | ERIKA (supported by Film and Media Fund NRW) as well as the EAVE PUENTES feature project SIGMUND'S CONTAINER by Cuban director Juan Caunedo. Butterfilm’s VFX department has contributed to many internationally acclaimed productions, including İlker Çatak's Oscar-nominated THE TEACHERS’ LOUNGE.
