More facts,
more substance

Thorough research, truthful and independent information, clearly presented — that is the standard of bockstal.de.

Walter L. Brähler was for many years a journalist for ARD, ARTE, SWR, and DEUTSCHE WELLE, correspondent in MEXICO and LATIN AMERICA, and frequently in the MIDDLE EAST.

He stands for authentic storytelling, clear messages, and credible content — exactly what strong, trustworthy, and reliable media also need.

TV.
Journalist.

Thorough research, truthful and independent information, clearly presented — that's what it's all about, including in corporate film.

  1. A corporate film is more convincing when it is built on real stories and solid information.
  2. We know how to tell content in a way that is gripping, clear, and tailored to the audience.
  3. Films that are authentic rather than advertorial build trust and emotional connection.
  4. Journalistic thinking means caring about the needs, questions, and perspectives of the audience.
  5. We are sensitive, respectful, and responsible. It shows in our work.

ARD.
Correspondent.

As an ARD correspondent, it was always particularly important to me to portray the people I reported on authentically.

Fair.
Minded.

I would betray my profession if I did not strive to present information as factually and objectively as possible, to recognize and minimize my own biases, and to consider different perspectives fairly.

Fact.
Based.

Thorough research is the foundation of every corporate film, too. Without it, the result may be "pretty," but it stays soulless. No empty phrases, no exaggerations.

Respect.
Ful.

Ethical standards matter to me — respect for personal rights, transparent handling of conflicts of interest, and independence.

Plain.
Speech.

Only when a film is clear and unambiguous in its structure, visual language, and characters can it move its audience, build tension, and deliver its message.

Pro.
Democracy.

Lies and half-truths spread extremely fast on social media. That endangers not only democracy, but also the economy. Serious journalism is a reliable remedy.

Our principle
»Only truthful media improve image in the long run.«
