The 2022 Film Production Company of the Year is Iconoclast Germany, International feature film and commercial content group. Film Production Company of the Year is awarded to the film production company based on total points scored, regardless of whether entries were submitted by the production company, advertising agency or a third party.

“We were really lucky to get this once-in-a-decade chance. You are always excited when you receive a script with potential. Like everybody else we love parents’ anxiety turned upside down. How Serviceplan’s idea struck a very common chord in these late days of the pandemic created a tiny bit of heat though. If this film does not come out great it would be on us. Then we read Marcus Ibanez’s treatment. He didn’t just design stunning vignettes to illustrate the voice over. Most casually he created a film. A beautiful film spot on the contemporary anxiety of parents and their ‘kids’ alike. And that was anything but luck. Thank you, Marcus! Thank you Serviceplan! Thank you so much,” said Tim Augustin, Executive Producer, Iconoclast Germany
