ABOUT
Based in Dubai Media City, media971 FZ LLC is run by international journalists and broadcasters with years of expertise in attracting and retaining viewers. We supply our clients with pacey, entertaining films designed to swiftly communicate their message.
Our videos are shot in 4K. Some are complex and lengthy, others very quick turnaround, even produced in a single day. Our news, documentary and corporate experience means we are flexible, creative and reactive.
We also work with close associates to produce high-quality animations - from concept, through scripting and storyboarding, to final delivery.
Our news knowledge allows us to offer the highest quality media and crisis communications training for individuals, official spokespeople, Government bodies and major corporates.
