ABOUTº

Fahrenheit Films is a film production company founded in 2017 by Jola Wieczorek and Rubén Rocha. We joined forces in order to produce our cinematographic works within a familiar surrounding and with a maximum of artistic freedom. Our focus lies on creative and innovative non-fiction films. Our works have been screened at many film festivals worldwide.
Filmmaking is for us a continuous encounter with our inside and outside world, trying to understand our complex and often difficult world a little bit better. We care about personal stories, strong visual concepts and unconventional forms of storytelling.
Lived, worked and studied abroad we build up a strong international network that facilitates a vivid exchange with other film professionals around the globe.
Our love for literature, theatre and music has led to beautiful collaborations with other artists. If you also want to work with us, feel free to contact us. We speak German, English, Polish and Spanish.
