Meet the primates!

Every great production company has an origin story. Ours starts at the bottom of the call sheet.

Moritz and Ben started out as set runners and learned the job from the ground up, department by department, shoot day by shoot day. From PA to fixer to producer, they've worked in almost every position on set. Today they run gorillahippo as the silverbacks they've become: experienced, decisive and serious about doing things right.

Just as important as the résumé are the values they bring to every set.

How They Work

At gorillahippo, fair pay, mutual respect and a good atmosphere on set are non-negotiable. Moritz and Ben believe great work comes from people who feel valued and heard. So every crew member, from the director to the set runner, is treated as part of the creative process.

Because that's exactly what they are.

Their philosophy is simple: skill + passion + the right atmosphere = exceptional results. It's a formula they've tested across hundreds of productions, and it shows in the work.

More Than a Production Company

gorillahippo is a community built on creativity, collaboration and a frank, human way of working that's rare in this industry. When you work with us, you get a crew that cares about the result as much as you do.

That energy is in everything we produce. And it's why our clients keep coming back.
