Cologne-based Augenschein Filmproduktion, producer of “7500,” which stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt, is moving increasingly into English-language production while also branching out as a financing partner for international projects.
In a move reflecting those changes, the company has hired industry vet Rusta Mizani, currently head of business affairs at the German Film and Television Academy Berlin, as its new CFO. Mizani, a former producer and administrative director of regional funder Filmförderung Hamburg Schleswig-Holstein, will assist Augenschein managing directors Jonas Katzenstein and Maximilian Leo in business development as the company moves into financing.
Augenschein is next re-teaming with “7500” director Patrick Vollrath and Glen Basner’s FilmNation, which handled international sales on the airplane thriller, on a Cold War drama set in 1961 Berlin during the building of the Berlin Wall.
The company is also partnering again with Los Angeles-based Xyz Films on an historical action pic set to shoot in Germany in 2020. The companies, along with Berlin-based Rise Pictures,...

Cologne, Germany -- "Learning Italian," a spy comedy starring Kevin Costner and directed by Kevin Reynolds, has picked up €1.1 million ($1.5 million) in production funding from regional funding body FFF Bayern and the Bavarian Bank Fund.
Reynolds has teamed with Costner on "Waterworld" (1995) and "Robin Hood -- Prince of Thieves" (1991). The director's last feature was period actioner "Tristan + Isolde" (2006). Costner's latest is John Wells' downsizing drama "The Company Men," which was an audience favorite at Sundance.
"Learning Italian" is being set up as an international co-production between Diplomat Films and Germany's Bavaria Film Partners. Reynolds, Costner and Howard Kaplan are producing.
Fff Bayern also put up $1.5 million towards "Berlin Mitte," from veteran director Helmut Dietl. The feature, which Dietl co-wrote with Benjamin von Stuckrad-Barre ("Solo Album"), is a modern-day update of Dietl's cult 1980s TV series "Kir Royal," which lampooned Munich high society.
