UFA (1917-present)

UFA, or Universum Film-Aktien Gesellschaft, is a German film production company, owned by the parent company Babelsburg studios, made just one year before the end of WW1 and producing through the years of Nazi Germany.

It became widely popular, rivaling large Hollywood production companies for being one of the best equipped and most modern studios, and even becoming the spear head in charge of Nazi-era propaganda.

Due to this, despite it’s dark history, the great creativity and reputation they had kept the company around for decades to come.

Berlin is known to be 20% cheaper to shoot in than in Hollywood, and therefore still useful to this day.
