Frequently Asked Questions

Please contact us if you cannot find an answer to your question.

We are looking for everyone who is involved in film, from investors, distributors, crew, actors, anyone with a passion; to come together. Connect with us and lets see what you can do to help make the UAE indie film making world a success.


We have you covered, we develop scripts all the time, and through our one-on-one sessions we can bring your idea alive.


Every story is unique and the length of the film and size of the story will dictate the cost and time. Cheap / Quality / Fast : you can only ever have 2 and you will lose the third.


As the story is yours and you are providing the finance (in full or in part), you can of course be in your own film. Our team will be there to assist you from A-Z and on set, providing guidance and of course directing you, so we get the best performance.


Awards

Our scripts, crew, actors, and films have been honored with awards and recognitions from film festivals worldwide.
