Soul-Singer THEO recorded a new album in Los Angeles, with all new self-written songs, featuring a bunch of fantastic session musicians. The band members played in studios and on stage with the likes of James Brown or Aretha Franklin. We produced the videos of the album title-song Heart of Soul and also for Songs of Marvin Gaye. Plus the making-of from THEO’s recording sessions in L.A.
Apart from this Migrating Birds awarded the Silver Hugo in the category 'Non-Fiction' at the 53rd Chicago International Television Festival.

Our Christmas Special is coming! Germany From Above - A Winter’s Tale. The entire country under snow, ice and storm - all filmed from above. How do snow and avalanches come about? Where do the marmots hide in winter? How is Hamburg’s harbour kept from freezing over? 60 minutes of winter magic - and like always: spectacular aerial scenes.
