Frames from the shoots
A crew shoots stills alongside every film. A few frames from recent sets, and the rest of the archive in the gallery.
What we make
Six things we do properly. Most projects start in one of them and end up touching three — a film shot for the website usually needs a stills library and a subtitled cut for the regional teams.
Corporate & brand films
Scripted films for leadership, internal communications and annual reviews. Shot on location across the Kingdom, delivered in English and Arabic with subtitles and versioning for regional teams.
Documentary
Observational long-form and short editorial. Interviews, archive and access, structured around a narrative that is actually true rather than a brand script read at a lectern.
Commercial & advertising
Television and digital campaigns, product work and location shoots. Permits, weather cover and crew scale are planned before the first day, not the night before.
Event & conference films
Launches, summits and leadership offsites. Multi-camera coverage cut the same night, so the film is finished before the room has emptied.
Motion graphics & post
Titles, broadcast packages, data graphics and clean-up. Subtitling, versioning and delivery to every platform your team actually publishes to.
Photography & stills
On-set stills and full campaign libraries, shot alongside the film so one crew covers both. Art direction, retouching and delivery in your own brand templates.
Every project is quoted as a fixed scope with a named director and a delivery date, not as an open hourly retainer. If the brief is still rough, that is fine — most of them are.
See how we workHow we work
Four stages, and the same four answers every time: what it costs, who directs it, when it is finished, and who to call about it.
Most of what makes a production difficult is decided before anyone picks up a camera. We front-load those decisions, put them in writing, and then the shoot itself is the easy part.
- 01
Brief
One conversation with the person who will direct it. We come back with a shape, a duration and a number, not a deck.
- 02
Pre-production
Script, storyboard, casting, permits, recce and a fixed scope in writing. Nothing is discovered on the shoot day.
- 03
Production
Crew, camera and lighting booked against the date. One stills photographer shoots alongside, so one crew covers both.
- 04
Post & delivery
Edit, grade, sound mix, subtitles and every cut your channels need — delivered in the formats and languages you publish in.
About Inspire Films
A production house in Olaya, Riyadh, working with corporate clients since 2014.
Inspire Films started as two people and a camera cart, shooting boardrooms that nobody wanted to sit through. It is now a full production house: directors, a documentary unit, an in-house edit and grade suite, and a stills desk that shoots alongside every film so one crew covers both.
Most of what we make is for companies building the region’s next decade. That means the film has to survive a boardroom, a trade-show screen and a phone held sideways on a train. We write for whoever is actually watching, and we deliver in the formats and languages they need.
How it works is unremarkable on purpose: one named director from the first conversation to the final grade, a fixed scope, and a date in the calendar. You talk to the person making the film, because they are the person making the film.

What clients say
The part of the job that never shows up in a showreel: whether the people who signed the work off are still talking about it.
Rated five out of five
They arrived with a list of things we had to say, and a brand that had no interest in hearing any of them. What came back was four minutes that nobody in the room wanted to skip. Our own legal team asked who made it.

Head of Communications, Al-Drees HoldingRated five out of five
Eleven years in and they are still the only crew I have worked with that will argue with me about a lens choice. We lost two hours on the fourth day and gained the shot the whole film is built on.
Dana Saeed
Executive Producer, RiyadhRated five out of five
A two-day summit that had to look like the first day of something. They shot it like a documentary and it played like one. Nobody on the client team had seen the footage before the premiere.
