Our Position
01

The business
is ours.
The creative
is yours.

Making cinema is a complete act. It demands total presence — in the writing, in the preparation, on the set, in the edit, in every decision that shapes what an audience will eventually feel in a darkened room.

The moment a filmmaker's attention divides — toward budgets, logistics, contracts, submissions, the endless administration of independent production — something in the work pays the price.

YESYES exists to protect that attention.

What We Are

We are a full-service production company. From the moment a screenplay is selected, we take complete responsibility for everything that surrounds the creative act. Development. Financing. Physical production. Post-production. Festival strategy. International submission.

This is not a funding program. It is not a grant scheme or a development lab. It is a production partner — one that stays with the work from the first draft to the last festival, and treats every film in its care as if it were the most important film being made anywhere in the world.

Because for the filmmaker making it, it is.

YESYES Inc. (US) & YESYES GmbH (Austria) — Est. 2025

Four stages.
One partner.
Zero compromise.

Everything a short film needs to exist — and be seen.

01 / 04

Selection

Every submitted screenplay is read. Selection is based on one criterion alone: the quality of the writing and the strength of the story. No quotas. No filters. No algorithms.

Production

A minimum of €50,000 per project. Professional crew. Proper schedules. Complete production support. The filmmaker concentrates entirely on the creative work.

Festival & Distribution

Strategic submission to the international festival circuit — Cannes, Berlinale, Venice, Sundance, Toronto, and beyond. Press materials. Industry introductions. Active pursuit of distribution.
