Founded by award-winning filmmaker and journalist Liz Chow, 217 Visual is a cross-continental creative studio based in Berlin with deep roots in New York.

With over 15 years of experience across documentary film, television, and cultural media, Liz leads a nimble, globally-minded team of storytellers. Our collaborators include cinematographers, editors, writers, designers, and sound artists who bring a diverse and detail-driven approach to each project.

From underground artist portraits to high-end fashion video campaigns, our work flows between disciplines — always grounded in human truth and visual beauty.

We’ve worked with clients across Asia, Europe, and North America. Whether shooting a food series in South America, documenting migration in London, or producing event videos in Berlin and NYC, our team brings journalistic rigor, artistic curiosity, and production excellence to every frame.

217 is not just a studio — it’s our passion and vision.
Let’s make something unforgettable together.
