Shooting of the third season of the series produced by “Producers at Work” is already underway.

Christian Klandt, director of the highly acclaimed RTLZWEI series “Wir sind jetzt,” was delighted to receive the Bavarian Television Award in the category “Best Youth Series.” “The Bavarian Television Award not only means joy and honor for me, it is also a privilege and a mandate for the entire production team to work on the 3rd season with motivation. Receiving this prestigious award confirms me in my work as a director and is a blast,” says Klandt, who is realizing the series with producer Christian Popp, Managing Director Producers at Work, and head writer Burkhardt Wunderlich.

The jury of the Bavarian Television Award judges: “Director Christian Klandt portrays the attitude to life of this young generation with a lot of warmth and authenticity. He takes the characters and their problems seriously and gives the young people a voice. In every scene, one senses that the director has understood how to build a relationship with his young ensemble, which allows the young actors and actresses to blossom in their roles. The camera (René Gorski) is always close to the characters, making the experience even more immersive. Last but not least, the look and feel of this extraordinary youth series are thoroughly coherent, original and modern.”

“We Are Now” is a Producers at Work production. All three seasons and the accompanying digital concept were funded by Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg
