INTERPOL, 3.0. "Insider Threats". This one we called ‘Terror Boy’. A working title that stuck. Our third instalment for Interpol, and a client relationship we’re ever grateful for. Short educational dramas like this allow us to put Qatar on the map as a fantastic shoot location. Full film out later this year, hope you enjoy! Gratitude to the cast and crew as always.

In this documentary, key figures who have helped shape Qatar’s football legacy talk about the nation’s journey to becoming the sporting hub it is today.

Through interviews and archival footage, it traces the passion for football that has always been at the heart of Qatar, from early matches played in the sand and gravel, to the 1980s national team whose achievements shocked the world and the sport’s explosive popularity under the leadership of His Highness the Father Emir Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al Thani.

A film we made for the launch of the “Women in Conflict Zones” initiative by the Qatar Fund for Development. Played on 23.09.22 at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA 77).

The statistics that come out from women and girls caught up in conflict are astounding. Displacement, abuse, abandonment. The threat of sexual violence, torture, and risk to livelihoods rises astronomically. Education, healthcare, and the propensity to care diminishes extraordinarily. Sixty per cent of maternal deaths take place in crisis. It’s insane.

Even with respect to peacekeeping, when women are included in peace agreements, the likelihood that they will last at least 15 years increases by 35 per cent.

The bottom line is that women suffer immensely in conflict, but when they are empowered, they can exist. With support, even despite conflict, women can look after themselves, their loved ones and their communities.

Qatar Fund for Development’s 'Women in Conflict' initiative allows for various projects and interventions that support women in conflict and fragile settings, in the form of humanitarian aid and developmental assistance.

Thank you @qatar_fund for allowing us the opportunity to make this film.

Boundaries.

Do you like them? Do you need them? Do you peer over them? Wish you were on the other side of them?

Intrinsically and conceptually, this film for Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ Doha Forum 2022 is about boundaries. On one side, the world we take for granted, and on the other, the side we don’t do enough about.

We’ve always been about boundaries. From communities and nation-states, to colonialism, protecting, expanding, contracting. We have them within us, and these days it’s ok to talk about them, it’s even encouraged. It’s probably the dichotomy that exists within all of us, the idea of letting people in and keeping people out.

There’s us, and there’s them.

But, until we really cross the boundary, with curiosity, affability - love, even - we’ll never truly create a global value system. A truly global village that sees equity, equality, sharing, caring, giving to give and not to receive, a distribution of wealth for the sake of it and not the mandate. Common goals and common good.

Idealism, right? Maybe not.

Inspired by, and with the blessing of, Uğur Gallenkuş. Removed from, but in acknowledgement of that incredible Nike ad. And made by The Film House Qatar.

Further to the opening film, we made the 20th Edition Film, combing material from the last 20 years of the Forum and real-world imagery from poverty to conflict, and climate change to xenophobia. That film can be seen here.

Big thanks to @duhailsc for bringing us in to make their @puma kit reveal film. The #roadto2022 is nearing and it’s a pleasure to get more football content made from Qatar for the world to see #redknights! Thanks to all the crew that stepped in for this one. Director’s Cut // Music Les Sins - Prelims.

The Mondrian Hotel, Doha at 3 years. The gift that keeps on giving.

A film to launch Qatar’s stunning Education City Stadium on the road to the FIFA World Cup 2020. But really a film that celebrates the tireless dedication of front-line healthcare workers across the world.

Without whom, even the thought of a return to our lives, our work and global communities wouldn’t be possible. Football is returning! And the opening of Education City Stadium is a light of positivity shining through the darkness that we’ve faced over the last few months. We’re proud to have been involved in this landmark moment.

A big thank you to those that invested in us, and all the crew who operated amazingly under difficult circumstances.

A little over a month ago we got a brief in for a regional Ramadan ad. It was pre-lockdown, but looking ahead, we knew we’d struggle to get crews together with coronavirus on the rise worldwide. With what felt like a brainwave at the time, there was only one way to get it made. ON PHONES! So, 11 countries, 2 weeks, 79 deliverables and a WhatsApp and Zoomathon later, it’s done! @Ooredoo Ramadan 2020. Directing and producing from our own homes, we built a network of people able to shoot at homes under lockdowns and curfews. MASSIVE thanks to all our contributors across the globe, from New York to Indonesia and everywhere in between. THANK YOU. #RamadanKareem everyone. Stay safe, and stay home.

Featuring Sonam Kapoor, a film for the Qatar National Tourism Council's annual Watch and Jewellery Exhibition. (Director’s Cut).

HAIRAAT's latest addition to their Al Jassasiya collection is the Airpod Ring. Crafted in either white or yellow gold it adorns your airpod so you stay connected in style. And to stay true to the spirit of the collection you can stack them for a statement look!

The Heartbeat of Qatari Heritage is now open. What a special honour to create the brand film for the new National Museum of Qatar. Designed by world-leading architect, Jean Nouvel, it’s unlike any other building anywhere and leaves such a huge impression on you. Go see it! We fused the incredible gallery footage with layers of human portraits to create a world that takes us back into Qatar’s impressive history. Thank you JWT and NMoQ for letting us craft this one with art at its centre.

The values of the Qatar Armed Forces are unrivaled and unwavering. The brave men and women of the military are sworn to serve and protect Qatar and they do so with pride. This film highlights those values and their national pride whilst humanizing each solider and visually expressing each honorable character.

A powerful and emotional film that celebrates the military personnel of Qatar. A film that inspired locals whilst promoting a sense of pride and respect for those that serve.

COMMERICAL

Curation is an art. It’s the next level of creation.

The art of sifting, selecting, carefully considering and pulling together every piece. Leaving no stone unturned, no pearl unpolished, no experience un-crafted. And that you raise the bar on experience, culture and elegance. A journey that has taken us deep into our past, to guide us in building the best possible version of the future.

In collaboration with animation studio Blind Pig in the UK, we crafted a service offering animation for Ogilvy Qatar, with the neon elements peppered all over social and all over Doha.

COMMERICAL

December 3rd is International Day for Persons with Disabilities so we crafted a little something to raise awareness.

A testament to perspective. Because inclusivity and accessibility for people with disabilities … it’s all about how you see the world. We’re better together with strong and resilient communities, working to help each other out.

2019 Brand film for Qatari designer Hairaat

Featuring inspirations from nature, culture and tradition.

COMMERICAL

IBQ is a distinctly Qatari brand. A brand that is proud of it’s heritage and history in Qatar. A history that spans over 60 years of experience.

Starting as Ottoman Bank in 1956, the bank has grown and evolved over the years into the premier banking centre it is today. Not only a bank, but a family.

And just like family, they’ve been "with you all along”.

This film is a reminder of the past, a celebration of the present and a look into a promising future.

Mondrian Doha – Our Time is Now

The newest and most stylish hotel in Qatar needed a film that spoke to the world they have created. A world of fantasy, surrealism and wanderlust.  Designed by world renowned Marcel Wanders, the building, furnishing and décor have a life and pulse of their own. 

Mondrian Doha is not just a hotel, it’s an experience. It’s where luxury, design and entertainment collide.  From surreal tea parties and flower crowned nymphs to horses and gazelles roaming free in the ballroom and hallways; this film is an adventure at every turn. 

Welcome to Mondrian Doha and the World of SBE.

TV SERIES

McMafia is a BBC eight-part drama series created by Hossein Amini and James Watkins and directed by James Watkins.

It was inspired by the non- fiction book, McMafia: A Journey Through the Global Crime Underworld (2008) by journalist Misha Glenny. 

It stars James Norton as Alex Godman, the English-raised son of Russian mafia exiles, who has spent his life trying to escape the shadow of their past, building his own legitimate business and forging a life with his girlfriend Rebecca. But when a murder forces his family's past to return to threaten them, Alex is drawn into the criminal underworld and must confront his values to protect those he loves.

It is co-produced by the BBC, AMC and Cuba Pictures. Broadcast on BBC One started on 1 January 2018. Episode 1 and 2 were co-produced by The Film House

On June 26th, thousands of balloons were released at Zubara Fort, Qatar. Each balloon has an Eid greeting card tied to it's string.

The initiative symbolizes the unity of the people of Qatar with His Highness Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al-Thani and the love Qatar has for it's GCC neighbors. #WeAreQatar #WeAreTamim

The Film House travelled to 24 cities around the world for this Qatar Airways spot.

From Hong Kong to New York, Finland to Australia, we captured the essence of premium wanderlust as we had the fortune to visit some spectacular sights. A three-man team with a cute set up led by the Sony A7sII and Freefly system, we roamed, filmed, and edited on the fly. The content made a global TVC and 12 Weather Idents on international TV stations like CNN, BBC, OSN and CNBC to sponsor the weather broadcasts.

Don't leave without your Passport!

In the lead up to Eid, we made a spot for Ooredoo Qatar, reminding customers to activate their Passport pack for their holidays. Flat 2D animated characters on live action footage, and inspired music from a classic Arabic song Ya Msafer; a song about longing for someone who is leaving.

Meet Noah. A happy, energetic, loving and fun young boy. He has verbal apraxia and a sensory disorder that makes it hard for him to communicate.

Behavioural therapy has worked wonders for Noah and his family. And in this short film, Noah's Mum, Alison, tells us a little about how Noah sees the world.

Inspired deeply by the visuals in the poetic photo journal by Rosie Barnes about her autistic son, "Understanding Stanley", and with Alison's voiceover, we try to convey, albeit very briefly, what it's like to live with autism, and with a greater understanding, we can come to know more about autism and make the world a better place for those living with the condition.

Special thanks to Syml, who let us use the track "Leave Like That" on the visuals.

And special thanks to Rosie Barnes for her inspiring personal documentary series, Understanding Stanley.

TEASERS

We created a 45 second combined teaser for QM spring exhibitions, Picasso / Giacometti and JR Repertoire.

In collaboration with the Musée national Picasso and the Fondation Giacometti, Qatar Museums presented the first exhibition dedicated to the work of two of the most important artists of the twentieth century, Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) and Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966), at the Fire Station - Artist in Residence in Doha.

JR is amongst a handful of world-renowned artists that combines art and engaged actions through large-scale outdoor installations, films, photographs and videos, using the streetscape as his canvas and his inspiration, which he claims as the largest art gallery in the world. He remains anonymous and doesn't explain his work, allowing the subjects, protagonists, spectators and passers by to raise their own questions.

Njoud Al-Kubaisi is a remarkable communicator and one of the region’s youngest sign language interpreters.

We were fortunate enough to work with this amazing 13- year-old on Qatar Financial Centre's TVC for Ramadan aimed at raising awareness about the challenges faced by the hearing-impaired and encouraging companies to integrate them within their workforce. Filmed entirely in Souq Waqif, we used the phantom camera to create super slow motion visuals that took us into a heightened reality.

The film became incredibly popular through the month of Ramadan, on tv channels and on social, garnering support from even the highest levels of the Royal family.

AWARENESS FILM

The estimated one billion people living with disabilities worldwide face many barriers to inclusion in many key aspects of society.

As a result, people with disabilities do not enjoy access to society on an equal basis with others, which includes areas of transportation, employment, and education as well as social and political participation.

This call to action animation was crafted for the 'International Day for Persons with Disabilities', with Shafallah a non-profit center dedicated to children with special needs.

Success can be brought to us by both nature and nurture. Maryam Al-Ali, a Qatari athlete, wanted to be a footballer when she grew up. 

She wanted to follow in her father’s footsteps. Mubarak Al-Ali is one of Qatar’s most celebrated footballers of all time, playing in a period when Qatar had an extraordinary group of gifted players. As Maryam grew, however, she found a greater love for horses and has been competing at the highest level of show-jumping for the last few years. This is the short commercial story of where she gets her determination. Great success comes from great support. Congratulations to Maryam, Qatar Financial Centre’s new brand ambassador.

In an effort to raise awareness to the citizens of Qatar on the daily functions and importance of the Ministry of Development Planning & Statistics, a memorable, clear and poignant film was nurtured.

Being a major contributor toward the Qatar 2030 Vision, The Ministry is looking to draw more attention to the quintessential work they do. The Ministry is a cornerstone for, not only the rapidly building city but also for the citizens, who in most cases are totally unaware of the services that are open for them.

To celebrate the Holy Month of Ramadan and stress the importance of precious resource conservation, we were commissioned to create two films that take us back to the early days of Qatar.

Tarsheed, under the patronage of HH The Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, has a mission to ensure Qatar’s resources are protected for the benefit of future generations. In this epic journey, we are transported to the early 1900’s where two camel riders search the endless desert for a source of water, careful of every drop of their reserves.

There are no barriers to a good friendship.

Being a buddy is about sharing, inspiring and encouraging another person. As good friends are hard to find, Best Buddies pairs-up friends-to-be, and in doing so breaks down barriers to communication for people with disabilities. Our film, supported by Qatar Financial Centre, aimed to give Best Buddies Qatar a powerfully communicative and energising piece of content that we hope will resonate throughout Qatar and the Best Buddies International organisation. The concept behind the film began with a very simple thought… There are no barriers to a good friendship. And so, to emphasise this, we created a visual barrier using the motif of a split screen, through which our buddies communicate, engage, chat and have fun, despite the very present divide in the screen.
As they break through this barrier, they prove that great friendships conquer all.

We crafted a promotional animation for Accessible Qatar

Accessible Qatar, an initiative by Sasol, is a smart phone application and website, where the disabled community is able to view the public and touristic locations and outlets in Qatar and see whether they are accessible and in what way.

Combining expertly-audited accessibility data with user-submitted reviews and ratings, the disabled community and tourists will be able to move about more confidently, knowing they can arrive and leave any spot without unwelcomed surprises that limit access.

Having accessibility information publicly available on Accessible Qatar will encourage venues to make necessary modifications in support of accessibility for all patrons. Accessible Qatar will support promoting Qatar as an accessible destination.

Behind every successful business person, is a partnership with Vodafone Business.

Every businessman has a story to tell. This is the story of Mohamed Jaidah of Jaidah Group and how his communications infrastructure blossomed as a result of Vodafone Qatar’s support.

The message is corporate, but the visual language is delicate and powerfully cognizant of what it’s like to be a success businessman.

Playing on the concept of ‘vision'; the vision of successful businessmen - those that see what others don’t; those that think beyond the ordinary, and imagine something far greater on their pathway to success, we painted each scene with the most beautiful of suggestive imagery.

Many thanks to Vodafone for embracing this visually strong look for their commercial.
