What
The Whole Spiel is an Entertainment, Media and Technology Company headquartered in Berlin and Los Angeles.
You can expect audience and consumer inspired experiences in Film, Television, Live Entertainment and Games.
Our intention is to create assets which will have multigenerational appeal, lasting value and contribute to our culture and business in an innovative and transformative way.
We underpin our mission with passion, vigor and rigor – creative endeavors, can benefit from the project management and development techniques of the tech business and vice versa.
Creative people are often misunderstood, we understand them, because we are “THEM”.
The Whole Spiel is an accelerator for ideas and businesses – we apologize in advance for the fact that we might unintentionally outwork, outthink and out-collaborate some of the people you have met before.
