Quirin Berg

Quirin Berg, honestly, is a bit of a powerhouse in the German film and TV scene. Dude’s not just a shareholder and co-founder of LEONINE Studios—he’s pretty much steering the ship as Managing Director and Chief Production Officer. So if you’re wondering who’s behind those slick fiction productions coming out of LEONINE, yeah, it’s him. Plus, he’s got the “Chief Creative Officer” title, which basically means he gets the final say on what flies creatively. Back in the day, he studied production and media management at the University of Television and Film Munich—think late ‘90s to early 2000s, when flip phones were still a thing. Then in 2003, he and Max Wiedemann launched Wiedemann & Berg Film, and later tacked on W&B Television in 2010. Not to brag, but he’s been the guy making calls as Managing Director, shareholder, and executive producer for more than 150 movies and TV shows. Those companies? They folded right into LEONINE Studios in 2020, so it’s all under one big umbrella now. As if that’s not enough, Berg’s racked up memberships in the German, European, and even the British Film Academies. Awards? The man’s got a trophy shelf that could probably collapse under the weight—European Film Award, BAFTA, German Film Award, Bavarian Film Prize, and a laundry list of others. Oh, and he was named Bavarian Entrepreneur of the Year. No big deal. Basically, if you’re talking about movers and shakers in European cinema, Quirin Berg’s name comes up fast.
