Violet Pictures was founded in 2011 by Alexis von Wittgenstein.

The company specializes in producing feature films and high-end TV shows. Violet Pictures regards itself as a creative boutique with a strong focus on development, either implementing its projects in-house or through strong partnerships. The company's goal is to produce from Germany for the international market.

Under the sub-label Ultraviolet the company also develops and realizes freaky and unorthodox projects with young writers and directors.
