We make the long-form films Saudi brands keep — anniversary documentaries, founder stories, sector retrospectives, transformation films. Story development, cinematic shoot days, festival-grade post. Same team from first call to final cut.
Brand documentaries, anniversary films, founder stories — each one developed, shot, and edited in-house.
Family holding group
Tech founder

Industrial group
Government programme
Cultural ministry
The cinematography stays consistent across styles — calm, observational, cinematic. The story changes per brief.
10–25 year retrospectives. Archive footage rescue, founder interviews, employee voices, cinematic shoot days.
Single-subject portrait films. Long-form interview anchor + B-roll of the world they built. Cinema-grade.
Where an industry came from, where it's going. Multi-interview, archive-heavy, sector-expert verified.
Real impact, on location, with the people on the ground. Not corporate-speak — observational cinema.
Vision films for new programmes, divisions, ventures. Stitched from real conversations with the team building it.
Saudi places, crafts, traditions — documented for archive use, brand films, or cultural programmes.
Real productions, real outcomes — names withheld under NDA where required.
Listed industrial group
5-month production
The group wanted a film for their 20-year board dinner that didn't sound like a corporate brochure. Archive footage was scattered across legacy hard drives in three countries.
Family-office founder
8-month production
The founder wanted his story documented for his children and senior team. Required a calm, single-subject series with no corporate gloss.
Government programme
3-month production
A new national programme needed a launch film that explained the vision without yet having most of the deliverables built. Required scenes that don't exist yet.
Other films include sector retrospectives, ESG documentaries, and cultural heritage essays — references on request, under NDA.
Family holdings, government programmes, listed groups, and cultural institutions that trusted Darb with their long-form story.
Documentary takes longer than other formats. The process is built around story, not production schedule.
Two-week discovery phase. We interview internal voices, read archive material, and propose 2–3 story angles.
Written treatment lays out the narrative arc, key voices, visual language, and run-time. You sign off before shoot prep.
Location scouts, talent confirmations, archive licensing, permits, gear list. Shoot calendar locked.
Multi-day shoots with full cinematic kit. Interviews, B-roll, location filming, drone where needed.
First cut for narrative review. Then picture lock, sound design, music, colour grade, motion graphics. 3 named revision rounds.
Master file + festival cut + social cut-downs + every aspect ratio. Bilingual subtitle files included.
Drop the brand, the occasion (anniversary, founder, launch), and the rough run-time you have in mind. A documentary producer replies within one business day with a treatment angle and a budget bracket.
