About Us
As Kinema Film we are the visual storytellers. Since the day we were founded we’ve made numerous film productions for digital media, cinema and TV.
Our story has begun in 2011 in Istanbul. We dreamt of a production company to combine what we love with client expectations. And we follow up the same path for 10 years. Therefore we’ve produced unique award winning projects.
We believe that our difference is creativity. So, with our crew we support your projects from script-writing to production and post-production.
