About us

Whether behind the camera, editing or in the director’s chair, Julian and Sarah are a dream team when it comes to thinking outside the box. Working with the support of some of the best filmmakers Freiburg has to offer.

Julian Bell

In 2011 he produced his first comedy short film in his home country Australia. His passion for creating quirky characters and developing compelling stories gave him the “cinematic” push he needed to found Bell-Films in 2020. He has lived in Freiburg with his wife and son since 2012

What makes Bell Films different

No films from the assembly line

With every video we create, we break the rules a little. This makes every project unique, tailored not only to your needs but also to the needs of the viewer.

Compact film team

We prefer to work in a small, well-rehearsed team. This means less effort for the customer and for us. It’s more personal and more fun.

We work on equal terms

No corporate speak – We have no strict hierarchies… Everyone has their own speciality. This also applies to working with you. We achieve much more in a friendly atmosphere. We are ALL part of the films we make.
