cmd+c is a GenZ production company by the couple Marina Prados (Barcelona) and Paula Knüpling (Berlin).

We believe there is a need to produce queer, feminist, young, migrant voices and diverse stories that break the rules of the establishment. cmd+c was founded with the intention to create queer structures in front of and behind the camera and stage and to engage with each other fairly, respectfully and creatively.

We describe our work as transarts. We combine film, theater, opera, musical, and documentary, working fluidly between these genres and formats, always on the border between fiction and reality. Always camp, queer and always political.

Theatrical work has been seen at Volksbühne at P14, Schaubude and Ballhaus Ost Theater. Our first mid-length film Family of the Year (2020) screened at the Performing Arts Festival Berlin 2021 in the Introducing series. The first feature length film Ladybitch (2021) is currently in the works.
