Trystero is a writer-led production company launched in 2026 focused on fiction, documentary, and comedy projects for the screen. Led by an international team of writer-producers, our mission is to put creatives at the front of the filmmaking process, ensuring that the artist’s voice leads from the first word on the page to the final color correction.
Based in Vienna, Austria, Trystero bridges the gap between Hollywood and Europe. We combine international experience with local know-how, and access to Austrian state financing and incentives for co-productions.
