Fresh off the success of “Mother Mary,” starring Anne Hathaway and Michaela Cole, German production company Augenschein is stepping up a level with more Hollywood projects and higher budgets.

The company, heading by Jonas Katzenstein and Maximilian Leo, started the year by launching “The Weight,” starring Ethan Hawke and Russell Crowe, onto the festival and distribution circuit from Sundance and Berlin.
