Founded in 2014 by Abu Dhabi-based screenwriter, director and producer Nancy Paton, Desert Rose Films seeks to deepen our understanding of the Arab world. The region has always been synonymous with commerce but there is a wealth of culture to be explored and it is our mission to provide an alternative view with new voices and perspectives.

Desert Rose Films operates from Abu Dhabi, Saudi Arabia, London and Australia with an exciting slate of both feature films and TV shows in development in these regions.

We believe that stories have the power to change minds and ignite action, so we support, mentor and develop projects of substance and significance for the generation of today and tomorrow.
