‘Staatsoperette’ honoured at the Seriesly Berlin Festival

19/09/25 – A great success for our team: the ‘Staatsoperette’ project was awarded the SteinbrennMüller Award for the best German-language series concept at the Seriesly Berlin Writers Pitch.

The prizes for the pitching sessions were awarded on Thursday at the Seriesly Berlin Festival. Together with directing duo Daniel Hoesl and Julia Niemann, our producers Ula Okrojek and Herwig Krawinkler presented their project ‘Staatsoperette’ and won the SteinbrennerMüller Award, which was presented for the first time this year for German-language projects with a media value of €2,000.

Staatsoperette is a political dramedy that depicts the social landscape of our democracy, told through the eyes of a man in crisis – and through the heart of a love that becomes a weapon – absurd, profound, terrifyingly funny – and devastatingly realistic.

The Seriesly Berlin Festival took place for the second time this year and focuses on the creative development of serial storytelling. Through screenings, panel discussions and targeted networking, the festival brings together visionary storytellers with key players from a wide range of media sectors.
