Professional Scriptwriting Services

Here is how this works in practice. We connect shoots with pro scriptwriters based across Dubai and Abu Dhabi who develop first screenplays or adapt existing material into production-ready scripts. Our writers work in English and Arabic, the country's two working languages, and they handle features, television, documentaries, commercials and digital work. For projects intended to shoot or distribute in the UAE, our writers build awareness of UAE media guidelines into the drafting process, since content is reviewed with the country's status as a Muslim nation in mind, so themes, dialogue and characterisation are shaped for cultural and religious sensitivity from the outset rather than corrected later.

Here is how the picture comes together. We set up development timelines and revision cycles with the production team. We align deliverables with the schedules of the Abu Dhabi Film Commission via twofour54. The Dubai Film and TV Commission where a script is tied to permitting or funding milestones.

Here is what we have to work with. The UAE's screen industry gives scriptwriting genuine grounding. Emirati cinema has been shaped by directors such as Nayla Al Khaja, the country's first female feature director, Ali F. Mostafa of 'City of Life' and Majid Al Ansari of 'Zinzana'. Their work shows how local stories reach global audiences. Twofour54 runs content-development programmes. Image Nation Abu Dhabi develops and co-produces first projects, both of which create demand for well-crafted scripts.

Here is the short of it. Our writers know how to use UAE settings authentically, from the futuristic skylines of Dubai to the dune seas of the Liwa Desert and the heritage of the Al Fahidi district, and how a script reads to Gulf TV networks and financiers. The result is a well formatted, production-ready script that serves both the creative vision and the realities of the UAE market.
