Hofmann and Mojto are connected by half a lifetime of producing: With The Tunnel, the duo pioneered the ‘TV event’ genre in Germany in the early 2000’s. Two dozen collaborative and international television and film productions followed, among them titles like Generation War, Dresden, The Tower, and The Same Sky.
“Jan Mojto and I have been close colleagues and friends for more than twenty years – our eye for programming, uncompromising quality, and passion for our profession unites us. It is the next logical step in my career to join forces and produce together with Beta Film. The individuals and their creativity are the building blocks for a long-lasting bond”, said Hofmann.
Mojto added: “This partnership is the fulfilment of a long-held wish. Nico Hofmann is one of the best German producers; he is a gifted storyteller. His professional and personal qualities, which I have known for more than 25 years, are the ideal foundation for many projects to come – stories for Europe from Germany. I am happy to accompany Nico Hofmann in this endeavour.”
Wünschmann said: “The current production environment for fictional storytelling is challenging and characterised by rising costs and complex financing structures. I am convinced that with our combined efforts, Nico Hofmann and Beta will produce outstanding projects.”
