Anna Maria Zündel and Magdalena Prosteder have joined as production executives as the company steps up development, production and acquisition activities.
The new arrivals will work closely with Twentieth Century Fox Germany MD Vincent de la Tour and marketing manager Germar Tetzlaff.
“Anna and Magdalena will be instrumental in continuing to build-out our local operations in Germany,” said Fox International Production president Sanford Panitch.
“Vincent de la Tour has done a superb job in both managing and distributing our local films in Germany, and this expanded production team brings additional strength to the already excellent local team.”
Zündel (pictured, at left) previously worked as an independent producer and prior to that was junior producer for Network Movie Film – Und Fernsehproduktion and worked as a development coordinator for Action Concept film & Stuntproducktion.
Prosteder (pictured, at right) worked as an assistant producer at the Neue Schönhauser Filmproduction.
“Local productions are a very vital part of our market and I’m delighted to expand our local film efforts,” said de la Tour.
Marco Mehlitz will shift roles within FIP Germany to focus on English-language European-German co-productions such as Fox’s upcoming Agent 47 (aka Hitman 2) that is scheduled to shoot in Berlin.
FIP Germany’s Schlussmacher (Break Up Man) grossed more than $25m. The company is in post on teen comedy Doktorspiele, and the children’s book adaptation of Rico, Oskar Und Die Tieferschatten. Both are due to open theatrically this summer.
