Saudi Arabia's Neom Media hub has forged a partnership with Hakawati Entertainment comprising a nine-picture deal and a new production services unit.
Saudi Arabia’s Neom Media production hub and the kingdom’s Hakawati Entertainment have forged a strategic partnership to produce up to nine feature films and establish a new on-site services unit “supported by experienced Hollywood-level talent and significant financial investments,” they said in a statement. “By connecting local talent with opportunities at Neom Media, the partnership aims to support the sector’s evolution into a creative industries hub, while streamlining project execution and elevating the region’s filmmaking standards,” the statement went on to note.
