Family couple Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald set up their own production studio, Parkes / MacDonald Productions, in May 2005. These producers have created and produced films such as Catch Me If You Can, American Beauty, Terminal, Gladiator, Island, and many others.
Imagenation Abu Dhabi, established in September 2008 with the assistance of the government of Abu Dhabi, is actively collaborating with Hyde Park Entertainment, National Geographic and Participant Media, as well as producing studios in the Middle East. The company’s portfolio includes feature films such as Robert Rodriguez’s Wish Stone, Peter Weir Long, Fair Play and Dag Lyman’s Revenge of the Fluffy. Well, it seems that the Emirates are entering the era of creating their own cinema with a professional approach to producing. Good luck
