Producer

​

Pavel Penev comes from Bulgaria and moved to Berlin (Germany) to study at Macromedia University. Before that, he worked for the video production of the improv theater “andundpfirsich” in Switzerland from autumn 2021 to summer 2022. Pavel has experience in production not only through student projects, but also from his work at “Solent Film”, one of the largest production companies in Bulgaria. In the summer of 2022 he was able to help with advertising productions with more than 60 people on site. There he learned how complex the production machine really is and how it needs to be oiled.

Pavel's goal is to return home at some point to shape the film industry there. His passion lies in storytelling. He believes that films have the power to change opinions and values. “With the right resources and the right know-how, you can convey any perspective to anyone, no matter what side of the fence you are on.”

Head of Technicians

Vlad Hadjiev grew up in the Czech Republic, with Bulgarian heritage, moving to Munich in 2015. Initially preparing to study mechanical engineering, he began taking interest in naturalist, capture-the-moment photography, which led him to studying Post-production and Cinematography at Macromedia University Munich starting in 2019, in order to unite his technical prowess with the ever growing need to express oneself creatively. Since then, he has mainly concentrated on short-form fiction and advertising, while also testing the waters in television and documentary filmmaking. He is currently engaged in an advisory position at the Macromedia Munich Rental house, also conducting the camera, lens and support gear maintenance there.
