TEAM
Ulrich Schwarz
HEAD OF PRODUCTION
Ulrich Schwarz is spearheading RISE PICTURES and serves as Producer/ Head of Production for the company’s entire production slate and international co-productions. Most recently, Ulrich produced Sony’s sci-fi thriller STOWAWAY, directed by Joe Penna and starring Oscar Nominees Anna Kendrick and Toni Collette, and co-produced Constantin Film’s high-end 3D animated adventure DRAGON RIDER, directed by Tomer Eshed and featuring Freddie Highmore, Felicity Jones and Patrick Stewart as international voice cast. Prior to his current role, Ulrich served as Creative Producer for UFA Cinema and produced Universal Pictures $30M epic THE PHYSICIAN, directed by Philipp Stoelzl and starring Tom Payne, Ben Kingsley and Stellan Skarsgard.
Sven Pannicke
MANAGING DIRECTOR
There are only a few people in the film industry who are skilled enough to work in multiple positions equally effectively – Sven is one of them. Sven is the Managing Director of RISE PICTURES as well as RISE | Visual Effects Studios while running shows as VFX producer or VFX supervisor - or sometimes even both at the same time. He used to own a stop-motion animation studio decades ago and worked as a Line Producer at the renowned Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg in Ludwigsburg. His passion is animation, his heart is visual effects, his dedication is to both.
Robert Pinnow
MANAGING DIRECTOR
This tech-wiz behind RISE | Visual Effects Studios’ IT infrastructure and pipeline development roadmap also takes on duties as VFX Supervisor, VFX Producer and Managing Director of both RISE companies. Robert has recently been working closely with the director Tom Tykwer on A Hologram for the King and is currently busy supervising the shoot and digital work on the biggest German TV series of all times – Babylon Berlin. While managing all of this, he still loves to grab a soldering iron from time to time to help with some of RISE’s more experimental R&D projects.
