ABOUT US

TAKE25 Pictures GmbH is a movie production and distribution company in Lunden, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.
Founded by Michael David Pate and Hauke Schlichting, TAKE25 initially served as a name for Pate’s cinema debut “Gefällt Mir” (“I Like”, released in October 2014) to trade under. When the film attracted the attention of the German “genre scene” and press, the CEO’s decided to run distribution themselves – so this became the firm’s philosophy.
With the comedy “Kartoffelsalat” (by and with the YouTube star “Freshtorge” – released in July 2015) TAKE25 produced Germany’s first feature film with YouTubers, also keeping production and sales under one roof. And with over 400.000 tickets sold in Europe, this movie was major success!
