We believe that stories are the most powerful tool of all. They connect us. Challenge us. Force us to consider what really matters and ask us to question what we truly believe in.
We are convinced that a well-told story has the power to change the world. That’s why we are committed to projects that remove barriers and biases. Projects that inspire, challenge, surprise and educate.
We are led by curiosity, honesty and the idea that every story can be impactful as long as it’s told with an open heart and an eye for detail.
With Zoo, producer Tom Elstner is embarking on a new journey together with a team of multi-skilled and experienced creatives. Zoo was formerly a production company for TV entertainment, a social media content lab and a playground for young, aspiring hosts in infotainment.
With Zoo, producer Tom Elstner is embarking on a new journey together with a team of multi-skilled and experienced creatives. Zoo was formerly a production company for TV entertainment, a social media content lab and a playground for young, aspiring hosts in infotainment.
With more than 25 years experience as a television producer, Tom has produced over 50 programs and founded an award-winning television production company before starting Zoo. While his titles include Executive Producer, Managing Director, CEO and Bossman Extraordinaire, he’d prefer it if you just called him Tom. Mr. Elstner, if you must.
Whether it's vision and development or finding the right story, style or shot, nothing and nobody can stop Aurelia from going the extra mile. She turns people into shooting stars and life into a set, because there is clearly nothing that doesn't inspire her. Better be careful what you tell her, it might become your next binge.
Ain’t no sunshine when Dom’s gone. Seriously, when it comes to post-production there’s nothing he can’t do! Editing, grading, sound design and mixing, VFX, SFX - he truly has the X-factor, seemingly capable of inhaling new skills. We still can’t believe he really exists.
Our “citizen of the world” brings international glamor to Zoo. A business lunch with Tim Cook or a best practice campaign for the world's largest investment bank? Carly leaves nothing unfinished and always ensures that our passports are more stamped than wrists at Berghain.
If you hand Ken a camera, he beams like he's going to Disneyland. He still can't believe we're actually paying him for this. As a true cinema lover, he knows where the best cut should land and he lets loose with a colour palette reminiscent of Monet at the water lily pond. In the words of our eternal optimist: “That boy is great!”
We belong together. It’s because we share a common cause and goals that we are an excellent partner for our clients.
We are committed to quality. Going the extra mile for our projects is a no-brainer.
We don’t fear the blank page. We let our ideas run wild and take inspiration from all the sources we can think of.
We believe that as a team we can achieve greatness.
We believe that being honest with ourselves, while also brave, ambitious and eager to continuously learn will take us far.
Finally, we follow the advice of a man whose literary finesse is hard to match: "Write drunk, edit sober." - Ernest Hemingway
