Curly Films has opened operations across Germany. After a successful couple of years since launching in the UK, founders Julia Frost and Richard Guy are expanding their offering to the German market. The pair have a long standing relationship with Germany working on projects for brands such as Canon, Samsung and Expedia amongst others.
Curly Films plans to enrich the German market and expand their directorial talent by making quality creative work and establishing partnerships with brands and agencies across the country.
Joining the Curly fold is Vanessa Stachel, a young director with a hunger for horror. Vanessa has a masters degree in Communication Design and has worked on a range of projects for various clients in Germany such as Social Chain, BB Promotion, the Fraunhofer research amongst others. In 2020, she began to study directing at the renowned Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg to focus on her strengths as a commercial director. Most recently she received a special mention at the 2023 Porsche Awards.
Vanessa’s talents lie in comedy storytelling, fantastic settings and building creative worlds especially in the horror genre. She is experienced in animation primarily 2D and stop motion.
Julia Frost, co-founder, Curly Films says: “We are super excited to expand into the German market. Advertising is becoming more and more pan European so it makes sense to bridge the gap and open an office in Germany. We’ll be bringing our UK roster with us on the journey and welcoming young director Vanessa Stachel too. As a company we’ve always admired German brands and advertising and look forward to being a part of that world and adding a little of our Britishness into the mix.”
