Knieling will focus on the development and implementation of high-end productions for streaming platforms, TV stations and cinema. She will work closely with the producing team of Anne Solá Ferrer, Lars Jessen and Sebastian Schultz.
Through the impulses of Maren Knieling, the interlocking and the synergies within Florida Entertainment GmbH should be further expanded and used. The expertise in entertainment (Florida TV), (Florida Reklame), journalism and documentation (K2H), podcast (Studio Bummens) and fiction (Florida Film) will be used even more holistically in the future.
To person: Maren Knieling comes from Bavaria Fiction, where she was responsible for many cinema and TV projects – most recently the multi-part event “The Secret of the Dead Forest” (ARD). She is an alumna of the HFF in Munich and previously studied business administration at the University of Trier and Dublin City University.
“Maren is exactly the addition we were missing to take the next big step with Florida Film,” says Klaas Heufer-Umlauf, Producer and associate of Florida Film.
