We are 4AM COLLECTIVE — a film production company
based in Düsseldorf and Cologne.
Visual storytelling crafted with intention.
Our Work
Our work moves between raw and polished, dynamic and precise — perpetually serving the story. Every project starts with a message and we shape it through visuals, rhythm, and emotion.
From commercial storytelling with a cinematic appeal to offbeat music videos, we adapt, experiment, and explore authentic ways to connect with the audience. Committed to staying true to our clients’ brand and identity, we balance effective communication with lasting impressions.

We’re a tight-knit team, but filmmaking isn’t a one-size-fits-all job. Every project is different, and we build the right crew for each one—drawing from a network of trusted creatives who bring their own vision and expertise. From concept development to final delivery, we handle every step.
Whether we collaborate closely or take the lead, we approach every project with care, ensuring it looks, sounds, and feels just right.
But hey, it’s easy to make promises – so don’t hesitate to hold us to ours and reach out!

About Us
4AM COLLECTIVE is a collaboration of filmmakers and media professionals across all disciplines.
Rooted in their education and training at ifs internationale filmschule köln, the collective is founded and led by Jannis Danikas, Michael Lucas Hein and Vlad Litvak.
A history of years of late night work, brought to the light of day in this joint co-operation.
We turn ideas into striking visuals that connect and resonate. Whether it’s a bold commercial, a brand film, or something entirely unique, we bring creativity and precision to every frame.
