ABOUT US
Run by founder Nasreen Eldawi since 2011, 208 Films produces incredible television, video, and social media content and delivers huge results. Rather than view ourselves as a production company, we prefer to think of ourselves as an extension of your team, integrating with your culture, time and content strategy to tell your stories in creative and engaging ways. We believe in responding quickly to our clients needs and delivering cost-effective services using a tailored approach and a personal touch.
208 Films operates internationally from our hubs in London and the Middle East, offering services all over the world. Our global network of filmmakers and marcomms professionals creates and distributes award-winning content for leading brands, broadcasters and organisations. Whatever the project, we have developed a reputation for delivering outstanding results - on time and on budget every time.

WHAT WE DO
208 Films provides an end-to-end content production and communications service. We create and distribute cinematic and dynamic digital video content for brands, broadcasters, government entities, corporations, charities, agencies and film studios. We love what we do, and it shows in our work.
Our team is passionate about making beautiful and engaging content. We love to help our clients reach their target audiences and tell the stories they want to tell.
As well as video, television and social media content, our studio also produces virtual reality, 360° video, augmented reality and location-based activations. We love leveraging the power of technology to connect with audiences in new and exciting ways, and pushing the boundaries of what is possible with immersive storytelling.
TELEVISION PRODUCTION
The very first two 208 Films clients were MBC TV and ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT, and both still chose us to work with us (10 years on and counting!) because we consistently deliver the world-class content they need.
ET is the world's number one multi-platform entertainment news brand and Emmy Award-winning TV show.
MBC is the biggest network in the Middle East, with 200 million viewers worldwide. Other television work includes the History Channel, E! News, Sky, CBS, Paramount, Viacom, NBC and Warner Bros TV.
FILM & VIDEO PRODUCTION
We have produced content for a host of world-class brands including the MDL Beast Festival, Saudi Tennis Federation, World Bank, Samsung, Google, L'Oreal, Uber, and Fendi to name a few.
We pride ourselves in the quality and creativity of our work, whether it be creative video content promoting the biggest music festival in the Middle East, a digital campaign showcasing a global fashion house's latest collection, or an immersive experience virtually transporting fans around the world to an iconic football stadium in the UK.
IMMERSIVE, VR, AR & 360°
208 Films believes in leveraging the power of technology to create impactful content and experiences which connect with audiences.
Our immersive studio produces 360°, virtual reality experiences, AR and location-based entertainment for a variety of international brands including cinematic VR films, virtual tours and augmented reality apps.
CONTENT COMMUNICATIONS
We offer a full range of content communications and global distribution services. We develop creative, content - based communications strategies for brands, and have a proven track-record of generating global coverage across broadcast and digital news platforms.
Our content distribution service works across the international media landscape, liaising with broadcasters, media buyers, agencies and brands. We deliver content to those who need it, when they need it.
