About The Post Republic
The Post Republic is an independent film and television post-production company founded in Berlin in 2007 by Michael Reuter. It works across picture and sound, supporting international feature films, episodic television and documentaries from digital dailies through final theatrical and streaming delivery. Its facilities span Germany and the United Kingdom, serving both regional productions and international projects.
The company developed from a Berlin finishing facility into a network offering coordinated image and audio services. Its expansion included a London operation established in 2017 and a Leipzig facility launched in 2020. Its work encompasses European arthouse films, international independent cinema, studio releases and streaming productions, with services tailored to the technical requirements of each production.
Picture and sound finishing
Picture services include digital lab work, near-set dailies, offline editing, online conforming, digital intermediate finishing and color grading. The studio supports theatrical and HDR workflows, along with beauty work, cleanup and final mastering. Its delivery capabilities include digital cinema packages, IMF packages and streaming deliverables, connecting editorial and finishing work with the formats required for release.
The sound department provides sound design, Foley, ADR and editorial services alongside theatrical and nearfield re-recording. Mixing capabilities extend to Dolby Atmos and Dolby Atmos Home. Remote monitoring supports collaboration with production teams during audio post-production.
Creative title design adds graphic and typographic work to the finishing process. The company also offers post-production supervision and executive co-production, helping productions coordinate their post-production requirements alongside the creative work.
Coordinated production support
A strategic collaboration with Automatik VFX connects The Post Republic’s picture and sound services with specialist visual-effects production. The companies coordinate their technical infrastructures to support integrated packages spanning on-set supervision, CGI, grading, sound and theatrical mastering.
The studio’s credited work includes The Imitation Game, Winter Sleep, Land of Mine, Spencer, All Quiet on the Western Front and Maria, alongside episodic projects such as Heartstopper and Doctor Who.
