who we are
Reel78 is a UAE based production company founded by award-winning filmmakers Razan Takash and Neo Apelian. We are dedicated to creating bold independent Arab cinema with a focus on genre storytelling from dystopian futures to dark comedies and Sci-Fi high concepts. Our mission is to tell stories that challenge expectations and put unique Middle Eastern voices on the global stage.
what do we do?
We develop, write and produce genre driven films that are rooted in Middle Eastern identity yet speak to audiences everywhere. From concept to screen, we craft stories that are visually striking, thought-provoking and entirely original.
Our mission is to explore new visions and unique voices that are underrepresented in the industry and bring them to the forefront, both regionally and globally. Through genre cinema, we challenge how audiences imagine the Middle East and create space for bold storytelling that redefines what our cinema can be.
