Cadmo lives in Berlin and likes to work in Hamburg, where he was born. He grew up in Bogota, Colombia, the homeland of his father, the artist Guillermo Quintero. After finishing High School he attended a photography school, later studied „directing“ at the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg.

He has been working as a director for commercials, music videos and short films for the last 10 years. You can say a lot about Cadmo’s skills, but to cut a long story short: strong emotions!

When you do something with love, they say it doesn’t feel like work. This, of course, is a cheeky lie. You know, we know, everybody knows. When you do something with love, you put all your energy and passion into it, you’re focused from the moon and back, and you won’t stop until it is absolutely the best it can be. This is erste liebe, a film production company, or rather, a family of driven people working from offices in Hamburg and Berlin. We have a broad range of expertise from swaggy music videos to big time tv commercials, heart-wrenching documentaries and a 400 m² Studio for all your content-production dreams and talk-of-town events.

Already in love with us? That’s ok, don’t blush.
Because there is no love like erste liebe.

 

At our core, we are storytellers giving a voice to ideas that need to be heard. We are committed to the craft of filmmaking as a driver of culture and change. We do so by connecting the dots between our network of filmmakers, producers, agencies, artists, and like-minded creatives. Our studio is designed to be a collaborative hub for exceptional work and ideas.

Take the tour and, who knows, you might just fall in love at first sight.

 

Content is everything. And everything is content. Before getting too buzzwordy, we must acknowledge that the media landscape has changed considerably. The same can be said for creative and production processes. Nevertheless, what remains unaltered since erste liebe first opened its doors is our commitment to discovering and supporting young and emerging filmmakers. At erste liebe studios, we provide them with a space to develop and the freedom to grow.

Initially, our studio was built for filmmakers. Today, it is open to anyone who has an exciting story to tell. If this concept speaks to you, we would be delighted to hear your ideas. Together we can find a way to make them come to life.
