On Location
Short films and web series for Shahid Originals, the Red Sea International Film Festival short-film competition, the Saudi Film Festival Ithra strand, and Telfaz11's YouTube-native production pipeline.
We support narrative short and web-series production across the Saudi platform world. That world has reshaped around digital-first release since 2018. Telfaz11 Studios stays the flagship YouTube-native production house. The firm grew from web series. It is now the #1 production house in the Kingdom. It made Sattar, the all-time Saudi box-office record holder. So it sets the bar for digital narrative work. Saudis on the Edge and Telfaz11 Originals anchor the YouTube slate. Shahid Originals, MBC's SVOD platform, orders short-form scripted work next to its prestige drama tier. Festival shorts run through two big Saudi show platforms. First is the Red Sea International Film Festival's short-film competition. It runs in Jeddah in December, hosted by Mohammed Al Turki at the Ritz-Carlton and Al-Balad venues. Second is the Saudi Film Festival at Ithra. That is the King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture in Dhahran. It has run each year since 2008. It is the Kingdom's longest-standing film festival. It is the main launch platform for emerging Saudi shorts.
Pre-production routes through the Saudi Film Commission for foreign-crew accreditation. The Cultural Development Fund handles the 40% cash rebates. That is a 35% base plus a 5% Saudi-content uplift. Short films and web series qualify on the same spend basis as features. There is no minimum-spend bar below the standard rebates floor. Emerging Saudi filmmakers on the slate include directors trained through the Red Sea Lab, RSIFF's development programme. Others come through the Saudi Film Commission's writers' room. AlUla Film is the Royal Commission for AlUla's production unit. It runs an emerging-filmmaker residency that funds short-form work in and around Hegra and Ashar Valley. Location work stays light by design. We use single-car access and 5–8 person crews. ARRI Mini and Sony FX9 are the standard kit. The October–April climate window suits exterior coverage. We field a bilingual crew. On-camera Arabic uses Najdi and Hejazi dialect. We add English subtitles for festival cuts. We add an MSA dub via MBC Jeddah for pan-Arab Shahid release.
