Walker + Worm Film produces feature films that neither shy away from risk nor friction. We aspire to be a leading destination for substantial cinema in Europe. Our films push boundaries regarding content and form. Our carefully curated portfolio ranges from debut films to major European productions. Literary adaptations are our passion.

We work with established filmmakers as well as young talents and support them with passion and integrity. We see ourselves as a production house that focuses radically on what a film really needs. Driven by creative excellence and sustainable impact, our films achieve great success at festivals and with audiences.

Walker + Worm Film is one of the leading independent production companies in the German-speaking region and was founded by Tobias Walker and Philipp Worm during their studies at the University of Television and Film Munich. Both are members of the European and German Film Academies.

Their first feature film, PICCO (dir. Philip Koch), premiered at Cannes and was awarded numerous prizes. Philipp Stölzl directed the first major literary adaptation of Stefan Zweig’s THE ROYAL GAME, which thrilled a large audience and was nominated for five German Film Awards.

In 2025, WHAT MARIELLE KNOWS (dir. Frédéric Hambalek) premiered in the Competition of the Berlinale and was sold worldwide.
