Make it in Pakistan
Make it in Pakistan
Pakistan has the locations, the crews and the storytellers, at a cost that goes further. TNI Entertainment has made more than 60 dramas for the country’s leading networks, and we put the same team, kit and know-how behind international films, series, documentaries, shorts and commercials shot here.
Why shoot in Pakistan
Locations
The Arabian Sea coast and colonial streets of Karachi, the Mughal heritage of Lahore, the mountains and valleys of the north, and the deserts of Sindh and Punjab, all within one country.
Experienced crews
One of the busiest television industries in the region produces drama every week. Crews here are fast, versatile and used to tight broadcast schedules.
Talent
Established and emerging Urdu-speaking actors, writers and directors, many with large audiences across South Asia, the Gulf and the diaspora.
Value
Production costs in Pakistan go further than in most regional hubs, without trading down on kit or craft.

Crews and casting

For film festivals
We would like to represent international film festivals in Pakistan: finding strong Pakistani submissions, reaching local filmmakers and press, and hosting screenings and showcases. We also produce short films for the festival circuit.
