THE STORY
Shotz is one of Germany’s leading production service companies that understands how to transform the country into a filmmaker’s playground.
A giant in his field, owner Tom Ehrhardt has spent over 25 years learning the ins and outs of the industry, line producing over 400 commercials, feature films, and music videos for the German market and beyond. He’s fortified on-the-ground local knowledge with an international network of contacts – and we want you to benefit from those relationships too.
The story of Shotz actually starts with a phone call from Milan, with Tom asked to lend his services on a nine-day shoot for a car commercial in Berlin. This project led Shotz to quickly accrue an enthusiastic Italian fanbase. Clients from several European countries were added along the way, and now, more than two decades later, our reach has expanded to become truly intercontinental. From Toronto to Tokyo, producers and creatives across the globe keep coming back to make the most of the Shotz service.
