TEASER-FACTORY · BERLIN

An idea in.
A finished teaser out.

Teaser-Factory turns an idea into a finished film teaser — automatically, in a fraction of the time a classic production takes. The software orchestrates script, storyboard, video, music and voice-over into one cut, ready-to-use result: a visual pitch for filmmakers before the first day of shooting, a finished campaign video for marketing teams. Made in Berlin by Alexander Ratter, developed in collaboration with the film production company Picco-Studio and its AI-film brand Picco-Vision.

THE NAME

Picco was black
a genuine, pure black Labrador.
He belonged to Alexander.

Smart, curious, always present. He is the logo today — not because dogs and film production have much in common. But because good things deserve a real story, and because the best tools are built by people who genuinely care about something.

The logo shows him in his iconic form: lightened, with an AI visor, turned towards the horizon. Not because we are changing the story — but because we are carrying it forward. That is what the brand does too.

Picco — the Labrador with AI visor, mascot of Picco-Vision

Picco — the Labrador as brand mark. Turned towards the light.


WHAT TEASER-FACTORY IS

One idea in. One finished teaser out.

Teaser-Factory turns an idea into a finished film teaser — automatically, in a fraction of the time a classic production takes. The software orchestrates script, storyboard, video, music and voice-over into one cut, ready-to-use result. Filmmakers pitch their vision with it before the first camera rolls. Marketing teams deliver campaign videos with it, without a shoot and without an edit suite.

Alexander Ratter, Gründer von Teaser-Factory
Alexander Ratter is the founder and CEO of Teaser-Factory. Trained at the New York Film Academy and the University of Vienna, he founded the film production company Picco-Studio in Berlin in 2021, and with it the AI film lab Picco-Vision. Teaser-Factory grew out of that work at the intersection of film production and artificial intelligence — a practitioner's experience, built into software. As he puts it: AI will reshape the film industry — the question is whether practitioners design it, or it designs them.

Teaser-Factory was developed in collaboration with two partners who lend it real film-production expertise:

PICCO-STUDIO
The film production company
Picco-Studio is a film production company based in Berlin and Cyprus, producing contemporary, politically relevant cinema — from arthouse to mainstream. Its projects include the satire CALIGULA, the essay film T2:NY1 and the drama series NYC TRILOGY, screened at more than 50 festivals worldwide. That production experience shaped Teaser-Factory from day one: Picco-Studio has been involved throughout its development, bringing genuine filmmaking craft into the tool.

PICCO-VISION
The AI-film brand
Picco-Vision is Picco-Studio's AI-film brand — a Berlin-based lab at the intersection of cinema and artificial intelligence, developing tools for script, pre-production, production, post-production and distribution. Picco-Vision has been involved in the development of Teaser-Factory from the start.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

Four principles. Everything we build follows from them.

We are not building general AI. We are building specific, high-quality tools for film and marketing professionals who take their craft seriously.

Every filmmaker deserves to pitch visually.
A compelling story should not be locked behind a shoot budget. We believe every filmmaker — independent, emerging, unfunded — deserves to present their vision visually, not just as a treatment or PDF. Pre-visualization changes who gets to be heard.
AI that actually works.
AI amplifies the filmmaker's vision — it does not replace the creative director. We orchestrate the best available model for each specific task: Claude (or any connected LLM) for scripting, Nano Banana 2 for stills and storyboard, Veo for cinematic footage, AI music for music, AI voice-over for voice. The result meets professional standards.
Privacy by design.
Desktop-native means your project files stay on your machine. AI generation is included via your subscription (managed) — optionally, you can additionally connect a fully offline local Ollama model for Phase 1. Built to align with European data protection standards from the ground up, so professionals stay in control of their unreleased projects and client briefs. Your data stays yours.
Speed that matters.
Production timelines are real. Film fund deadlines do not wait. Our technology is measured by how much faster professionals can pitch, apply and deliver — not by demo metrics or benchmark scores. If it does not save time in a real workflow, it does not count.
