On Location
Saudi scriptwriting — Arabic MSA + Najdi / Hejazi dialect drama, Telfaz11 comedy, anime, RSIFF development
Our Saudi scriptwriters work across Arabic MSA (Modern Standard Arabic / Fusha). This suits broadcast and pan-Arab release at MBC + Image Production House Dubai + Goldenrod Cairo dubbing pipelines. They also write regional dialects. These are Najdi (Riyadh region), Hejazi (Jeddah / coastal), and Eastern (Dammam / AlKhobar). They do English-language work for global co-productions too. Names in the pool include Haifaa al-Mansour (Wadjda 2012, The Perfect Candidate 2019, Mary Shelley) and Mahmoud Sabbagh (Barakah Meets Barakah 2016). They also include Ali Kalthami (Sattar 2022 Saudi box-office record via Telfaz11), Shahad Ameen (Scales 2019), Tofik Almuzayen, Ahd Kamel, Bader Al-Homoud (Telfaz11 founder), Faiza Ambah, and Khaled Fahd. Development funding flows through the Red Sea Fund (RSIFF Jeddah since 2021, chairman Mohammed Al Turki). It also flows through the Cultural Development Fund (CDF, 40% cash rebates base 35% + 5% Saudization uplift). More routes are MBC Studios commissioning, Telfaz11 in-house, and Manga Productions (Saudi-Japan anime JV with Toei Animation. Future Folktales, Saud Rises). Global co-productions get funding via Image Nation Abu Dhabi / TwoFour54 / Filmworks Dubai.
Compliance for produced scripts runs through the Saudi Film Commission (Ministry of Culture). It also runs through GCAM (General Commission for Audiovisual Media) type G/PG/PG12/PG15/R15/R18. Content goes through review for cultural sensitivity. This covers religious site references (no Mecca / Medina filming for non-Muslim crew), modest dress for female characters on domestic broadcast, prayer-time scenes, and Ramadan settings. It also covers Saudi National Day (Sept 23) / Founding Day (Feb 22) commemorative story work. Heritage period drama draws from Diriyah Al-Turaif (UNESCO 2010) First Saudi State founding history. It also draws from Najdi unification stories, Hejazi merchant family sagas, Bedouin tribal poetry, and the pre-Islamic Nabataean (Hegra UNESCO 2008) period. Festival placement goes via RSIFF, Saudi Film Festival Dhahran (at Ithra King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture since 2008), and AlUla Film Awards. Crew handle GOSI payroll sign-ups, 15% VAT, and the SAR pegged 3.75:1 to USD with zero personal income tax. Effat University Jeddah and King Saud University Riyadh feed the pipeline. So do NYU / USC / AFI / UCLA / Falmouth / NFTS UK Saudi alumni. There is no domestic Saudi writer union. Global WGA / WGGB work is handled reciprocally via Dubai EPS bureaus.

How do you match a scriptwriter to my production?
