PALAFILM Opens Co-Production Partnerships in Asia and the Middle East

For Upcoming Films and “The Paladin” Series (Budget: €3M–€100M)

Palafilm, an independent production company with a transnational identity and a cinematic vision oriented toward global storytelling, is launching a major international co-production initiative focused on Asia and the Middle East, two of the fastest-growing creative markets today.

With a slate of feature films and a high-end series currently in development — budgets ranging from €3 million for feature productions to €100 million for the flagship series “The Paladin” — Palafilm now seeks creative, financial, and institutional partners who share the ambition of producing premium content for global distribution.

A Strategic Expansion

Asia and the Middle East are undergoing an unprecedented transformation in film investment, cultural development, and studio infrastructure. Countries such as UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, India, Singapore, Indonesia, and South Korea are becoming global powerhouses, attracting both Hollywood productions and international co-productions.

This momentum aligns perfectly with Palafilm’s next phase of growth:
equal co-production structures, long-term partnerships, and projects designed for continental and global reach.

Portfolio With Real Value

Budgets between €3M and €100M

1. Premium Features (Budget €3–10M)

Documentary cinema, social thrillers, character-driven drama, hybrid art films — all conceived for major festivals (Cannes, Venice, Sundance, Busan, Cairo) and international streaming platforms.

2. “THE PALADIN” — High-End Event Series (Budget €100M)

An epic narrative set between Europe, the Middle East, the Gulf, and South Asia.
Blending geopolitics, spiritual transformation, and high-stakes action, The Paladin is structured for multiple seasons and designed for global appeal.

Why Co-Produce With Asia and the Middle East?

1. Strong appetite for international content

These regions are actively investing in foreign productions and global IPs.

2. Competitive cash rebates (30–45%)

UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, India, and others offer world-class financial incentives.

3. Cutting-edge studio infrastructure

Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, Jeddah, Doha, Hyderabad, and Busan provide top-tier facilities.

4. Young, growing audiences

High consumption of premium streaming content across the region.

5. A cultural moment where “local becomes global”

Asian and Middle Eastern narratives increasingly define global culture.
