Two prominent figures in European entertainment have announced the launch of Dreamkite Studios, a new production company based in Munich and Berlin that specializes in artificial intelligence-driven filmmaking. Yoko Higuchi-Zitzmann, a veteran media executive who previously led Telepool, and Mark Wachholz, an AI filmmaker gaining recognition in the industry, are co-founding the venture to create feature films, television series, and digital content that blend generative AI technology with conventional production methods.
The studio plans to collaborate with established directors and actors while incorporating AI tools into its creative process. According to the founders, Dreamkite aims to establish itself as a premier European production house that prioritizes storytelling excellence, intellectual property development, and European cultural independence. The company intends to work alongside an international network of creative professionals spanning animation, directing, and visual effects.
Higuchi-Zitzmann brings extensive credentials to the role, having worked on internationally recognized projects including the Oscar-winning “La Vie En Rose” and securing distribution for successful titles across numerous countries. Wachholz has gained prominence through his AI filmmaking work, with his 2025 project “The Cinema That Never Was” earning recognition from major figures in cinema and winning awards at prominent AI film festivals. The founders emphasize their commitment to using AI responsibly while expanding creative possibilities for contemporary storytelling.
