About

Raav Films was founded in 2022 by Juliane Block and Wolf-Peter Arand to provide a new home for their filmmaking endeavors after they have been collaborating as a writing, directing, and producing team since 2012.

Their mystery thriller 8 Remains saw a 2018 theatrical release in selected cinemas in the US and won the Jury Award at the Capital Filmmakers Berlin in 2019. It was released on Netflix Europe in 2021.

3 Lives, a psychological thriller, was released in the US in 2019. It has seen a theatrical release in Turkey on more than 120 screens and was also released in South Korea, Brazil, Benelux Countries, and Scandinavia.

Juliane and Wolf’s most recent feature, the horror-drama The Curse of Hobbes House, had its premiere at the B3 – Biennale in Frankfurt, Germany, was then released in the US and the UK in 2020 and has been picked up by Netflix Europe for a release in late 2022.

In March 2020 Juliane and Wolf decided to move their base of operation from the UK back to Germany. Since then three of their feature-length screenplays and two of their TV series concepts have been funded by Nordmedia, the North German film funding body.
