Film shoot as
team event

Filmevent works best as a team event for companies looking for team building with a real wow factor. Instead of a classic workshop, your team shoots its own short film together: creative, energising and suitable for 6 to 200 people. It's a popular company event for annual gatherings, kick-offs, Christmas parties or summer celebrations because the format runs year-round at almost any location.

We also bring private occasions like birthdays, anniversaries or weddings to life with their own short film.

During a Filmevent, the team leaves the everyday office behind for a day and slips into new roles. This shift in perspective is what makes the team building so effective: quiet colleagues suddenly take the director's chair, creative minds find structure, every person brings a different side. Shooting together creates constellations that the daily grind rarely allows.

By the time the premiere rolls, what started as a team event becomes a shared experience that lingers and connects the team well beyond the company event itself.

A Filmevent takes about 4 to 5 hours, including the shoot, the editing break and the premiere. It slots easily into a wider company event, or grows into a full programme with apéro and dinner.

We tailor the timing flexibly to your group size, your location and your wider programme.

The flow of a Filmevent depends on group size, location and how much wider programme you want to add. As a rule we plan around 3 hours for your own film production and roughly 2 hours for editing - your team celebrates the premiere as the big highlight the same evening.

Many teams use the editing window for apéro, dinner or another element of the company event. A classic schedule for a team event looks like this:

14:00 | Welcome
14:30 | Film production
17:30 | Dinner | Film editing
20:00 | Film premiere

We recommend not splitting the film production block. Everything else can be tuned around your company gathering.

Yes, all year round. Seasonal independence is one of the biggest strengths of Filmevent: the team event works just as well as a summer company outing, an autumn kick-off or a Christmas party. We shoot indoors and outdoors and tune the story and locations to the season.

In winter we recommend indoor venues with enough space for shoot and editing; in summer we happily write outdoor scenes into the script when the weather plays along. The team building lands in any season.

There's no fixed lead time. We've run team events on just a few days' notice, especially for smaller groups. In our busy months - September, November and December - our dates fill up quickly, so booking early pays off.

For larger company events with 100 people or more, we recommend planning three to six months ahead so location, catering and the Filmevent slot together cleanly.

Absolutely. Our team event adapts beautifully to children, older participants or people with disabilities - both in the roles on set and in the timing. We make sure every person finds a fitting task: in front of the camera, directing, or looking after the props.

If you have specific needs, just tell us. We've worked at many family gatherings, multi-generational events and inclusive company events, and we're happy to advise on what suits your group best.

For the film premiere you need a projector or a large screen and a sound system; that creates a real cinema feeling right in the middle of the team event. For smaller groups a large TV works fine too.

From around 100 people, image size and sound quality become more important. Many event locations already have suitable technology; we're happy to work out with you what your location needs, so the premiere becomes the highlight of the company event.
