"I've known Michael since 2005, when he produced the 'Berlin Street' at Hofmann & Voges. Since then, we haven't had one another's eyes. Now, we're seeing time to work together again because we think about the project and produce the same perspective, and in general. We both want to be independent of the content and creative groups. We rely on more and more parties to develop quality quality, and we can develop quality quality quality. And share that attitude."

Polle added: "Our vision has always been our vision to build homes for creatives, where we can create something special together and be on an equal footing. Action, push boundaries, have emotional signatures but don't lose the boundaries of the audience, whether it's in a cinema or in movies/TV. Going back to the days of Hofmann & Voges, so now we both walk around in a beautiful way."
