About
In 2015, Yoann Luis and Axel Zeiliger had a simple but demanding ambition: make films that are useful. Not useful like a manual — useful like something that changes how you see the world, even slightly. Ten years later, Block 8 has built a catalogue of fiction and documentary films selected at festivals across four continents, and a community of directors, authors and technicians who share that same restlessness. Popular and demanding. Entertaining and committed. Film after film.
“Reaching the audience, pushing at the edges of genre, entertaining in order to inspire — that’s the cinema we believe in, film after film.”

The founders
Yoann Luis
Trained in cinema in Lyon and at the Institut Lumière, Yoann Luis first built his eye as a filmmaker before becoming a producer. His genre films have been selected and awarded worldwide. It’s that dual culture, the author’s and the producer’s, that he now brings to the fiction and series projects he develops at Block 8.
Axel Zeiliger
Axel Zeiliger began his career producing and distributing documentary films in Brussels, before directing two films in Africa for Belgian television. That journey — between the field and the editing room — forged a conviction: the best films are the ones that never let go of their subject. At Block 8, he develops and produces projects that have something to lose if they don’t get made.
From first draft to final credits — Block 8 Production supports fiction and documentary projects at every stage: development, financing, production, distribution.
Block 8’s expertise, at the service of brands and organizations. B8 Agency produces high-aesthetic audiovisual content for companies that refuse the institutional video.
A space built by and for image professionals. Le Lab welcomes directors, editors, motion designers and producers in an environment designed to create — not just to work.
