Production company in Egypt for international films
Filmedia Production is the local production partner for international features, series, commercials and documentaries in Egypt: government-permit coordination, line production, locations, crew, equipment and logistics, with daily reports to your office.
What we handle
Line production and budgeting. Scheduling. Crew hiring, from heads of department to drivers. Location scouting and management. Filming permits through the Egypt Film Commission. Equipment customs and local rental. Transport, accommodation, catering, security and fixers.
You get one local partner who carries the production on the ground, so your team can focus on the picture.
Built for international productions
We have worked with crews from the USA, UK, Hong Kong, Australia, the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Kuwait and the UAE. We know how studios and agencies expect budgets, call sheets and cost reports to look, and we smooth out cultural and working-style differences before they reach set.
On Jurassic World: Dominion, our own Ahmed Kardous served as second unit director and cinematographer. On Wicked: For Good, we worked alongside VFX supervisor Pablo Helman's team.
Any scale
A three-person photo shoot at the pyramids, a commercial with a full art department, or a series unit of more than 220 people, as we ran for the Hong Kong series Wesley. The process is the same: a clear plan, a realistic budget and daily reporting.
Choosing a production company in Egypt
When you compare production companies in Egypt, ask four things: which international productions they have serviced, whether they work with the Egypt Film Commission on permits, how they report costs to your office, and who will actually be on set. Our answers: Universal Pictures features, a Hong Kong series and global brands since 2007; permits through EFC; daily cost reports in your format; and our own partners on every shoot.
Filmedia is listed with the Egypt Film Commission, which recommends that foreign productions work with a local Egyptian production company.
Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the UAE
For regional campaigns we also produce from our Dubai base and take on projects in Saudi Arabia, so one team can cover the region.
