Kronberg im Taunus, May 11, 2016 – PANTALEON Entertainment AG (XETRA: PAL, ISIN: DE000A12UPJ7) continues its rapid expansion, opening its fourth production office in the media city of Cologne in Germany. At the same time, PANTALEON welcomes successful producer Kristina Löbbert on board.
Kristina Löbbert will be developing exciting TV and film projects for PANTALEON Entertainment AG from Cologne. She comes to PANTALEON from Wüste Film West, where she handled productions like “Emma’s Bliss”, “The Murder Farm” and “Robbi, Tobbi und das Fliewatüüt” as producer and managing producer.
“We are very happy to welcome a very experienced and successful producer like Kristina Löbbert to the PANTALEON team and to our new site. We quickly realized we’re on the same wave length content-wise, and look forward to tackling a number of promising theatrical and TV productions together in the media city of Cologne,” says PANTALEON Entertainment CEO Dan Maag.
For the company, the expansion to Cologne is an important step: “We need an office in a major entertainment production center like North Rhine-Westphalia, where we have worked closely with the creative community for years – so it’s just the logical next step to open our own production facility with a pro like Kristina Löbbert”, adds Maag.
Producer Kristina Löbbert says: “Dan Maag, Matthias Schweighöfer and Marco Beckmann have turned PANTALEON into one of the most innovative and successful entertainment production houses in Germany at an impressive speed. Becoming part of this dynamic, visionary and proven team with an own office in my home town of Cologne, where I have been making films for many years with the support of the North Rhine-Westphalian film board, is like winning the lottery for me.”
