Film production services in Saudi Arabia
Filmedia now takes on productions in Saudi Arabia, run by the same team and standards behind our Universal Pictures shoots in Egypt and coordinated from Cairo and Dubai.
What we bring
Line production, budgeting, scheduling, crewing, location scouting, logistics and daily reporting to your office, the way we run international features, series and commercials in Egypt.
Permits and the Saudi rebate
Filming in the Kingdom needs a filming permit, and the Saudi Film Commission's incentive programme requires a registered Saudi production company or an official co-production agreement with one. Where the rules call for it, we work alongside a licensed Saudi partner, so your production stays eligible.
Locations
Riyadh and Jeddah for cities, AlUla for desert and rock formations, and the Red Sea coast. Send us the script or the look and we will come back with options and a first budget range.
