ROW Pictures (formerly Rohfilm Factory) is an independent production company for feature and series projects, founded by Karsten Stöter in 2016 with offices both in Leipzig and Berlin-Brandenburg. We develop films with local and international talents and focus on excellence in storytelling.
In 2026 we present Markus Schleinzer's historical drama ROSE at the 76th Berlinale with Sandra Hüller in the lead. In 2024 our comedy ZWEI ZU EINS (TWO TO ONE) was a box office hit in German cinemas with more than half a million admissions.

In 2018 Emily Atef’s film »3 Days in Quiberon« premiered in Berlinale competition and won 7 German Film awards, including best film. 2022 »War Sailor« by Gunnar Vikene (Norway’s entry for the International Feature Film Oscar) premiered at TIFF and was released as a 3-part series on Netflix. Prior to that Karsten co-founded Rohfilm in 2005 and produced 25 films until 2016, such as »Lore« by Cate Shortland and »Lunchbox« by Ritesh Batra.
