Has anyone ever wondered who or what "Thim Film", the lender of the most successful film of 2008 and probably the most successful film since Poppleton and rear timber 8 is? Probably only a few, but those who are wondering which will be helped further hereby.
One thing first: All the details that follow here are now, anyone on the Internet to access and find. But not in a hurry. For those who just want a quick snack information and no time for a thesis about it have, so make this contribution has its place.
Thim Film - more often, "ThimFilm" - is a daughter of 3L film distribution , in turn a subsidiary of ems new media AG in Dortmund, Germany, - the claims to oldest DVD manufacturers in Germany - almost a traditional business : pressure of the first DVD 1997th
announced in a newsletter, the Film Foundation North Rhine-Westphalia in December 2004, ems that wants to break into the film production. First productions are planned for 2006. Responsible for the implementation of the project: Executive Director and head of distribution Andreas Werner Wirsing Thim.
seems obviously time to have everything working, including record companies online books 29.12.2006 for the establishment of the "ThimFilm" - Director: Richard Thim - in a Vienna suburb. This fits the web-to-find Founded in any case very well with the initial citation to rent in the Film Industry Report for 2007 (published in December 2008). There, the company appears twice in the distribution statistics. Once as "Senator / Thim Film" and once as "3L Film Distribution / Thim Film". Most successful films of the two: Death Proof - Grindhouse with 66,000 visitors and 2 Days in Paris with 43,000 visitors. The relationship and cooperation with Thim Film Senator Film, which also have a lending subsidiary in Austria, I could not explain so far.
any event, gave the ThimFilm according to the Austrian Film Institute, the first time last year, 2008, an Austrian film: the "independent" production David Unger, of his sex romp "What's the Worst never" out of pocket financed and thus probably did not find any lender - ThimFilm except that probably the only on still and probably even did not find any movies that you were not of Senator or 3L in hand. Austrian film producers finally choose in most cases Filmladen as a rental. And some manufacturers now cook their own lending already do their own thing. Smaller productions such as short and experimental films land at Polyfilm or Stadtkino Hire . Mainstream-oriented productions end up at times also at Constantin-Holding, which bought out by the former subsidiary of the German mother to Austria Constantin Film. The German films give the German producers with their own lending; the same goes for the American. Since there's not much, which could distinguish itself, a new hire. How to ThimFilm So What's the Worst has never come also remains a mystery for now. Maybe David Unger has also supported here - there is still often hire words "Thim Film / David Unger. For the result we need to But do not be ashamed anyway. The film reached 7,000 visitors and thus more than most other Austrian films of the year, including the Allegro-production with director Sicheritz and cabaret / movie star Roland Düringer why , with 6,000 visitors - it can be in this production effort is not frankly - abkackte neat if you look at the impressive reference list of parties with some of the (national) most successful Austrian films of all time (behind wood 8, Poppleton, mothers ...).
The second Austrian film that has been awarded ThimFilm gives / is it for now Real Vienna . As the back should have gone before him, but where else are movie store and Constantin "gun at the ready" for such treats, I can explain to me again hard. My approach is, however, of that either ThimFilm have made an unbeatable offer or have the producers of Real Vienna for some reason did not want to work with established lending. In the former case, I can also imagine an "opening bid". Say, will ThimFilm in Austria "large" (can be as big a stop here if you do not have American movies), or enter his share of the cake and have therefore tried everything in the world for the foreseeable blockbuster Real Vienna to win the to show him as a future reference production. That would be succeeded well.
But against the established lender you will probably prevail in the long term can only be better terms because the market is filled in and of itself. It is for the film producers no matter what the ceremony, he assumes that would take him (no American and German Rental; remain so film loading and Constantine as a "big player" in the Austrian films and the small "Zwutschgerl" poly film, urban cinema or Luna Film and Poool film, which incidentally also want to take root).
So what comes next? If ThimFilm future Austrian Lenders, the few successful productions poaching? If other independent strips awards? And what becomes of the cooperation with Senator Film?
