MEA Q1 2022

MEA / Q1 2022 12 Jan22365 Lights! Camera! Action! The dream of making movies is one which is possible for anyone to undertake, but to do so with class takes real skill. The team behind Identical Pictures Ltd have thrived on producing incredible pieces of art for their clients. In the MEA Business Awards 2021, the team were named Most Innovative Film & Photo Production Company 2021. We look more closely at precisely what has secured them such success. Since opening its doors, the team at Identical Pictures has been able to act as a one-stop-shop for film and photo production. Having filmed content through the Indian Ocean region, including in Mauritius, Madagascar, Maldives, Reunion, and Seychelles, they have gained an understandable reputation for being where films and holidays are made. Founded in 2009, the team at Identical Pictures are proud of producing worldclass content for over ten years. With a team that has a combined 60 years of expertise in film production, it’s little wonder this astonishing company has been able to thrive. Production is an industry where costs can rise very quickly and it pays to find a local team who not only understand the environment, but have already garnered a great deal of experience when it comes to facing the challenges inherent. Over the years, the success of Identical Pictures has seen it have a decisive, and growing, influence on the Mauritian film industry. Over the years, the Identical Pictures team have been able to work in a variety of different genres, offering their clients support in a wealth of different forms. Whether they are producing a documentary on the local culture or a feature film that embraces the potential of the landscape, the team at Identical Pictures is always on hand to deliver first-class support. The team works closely with clients, overseeing projects from their initial conception through to the finished product. Working internationally have proven that this is a team that can work in a way that transcends borders. Since opening their doors, the team have become a fixture in the area, known for classic films such as Amor de Madre or Resort to Love for Netflix, Serenity for IM Global, and others for BBC, TF1, and Universal. The trust from these renowned and high profile industry names demonstrates the level of quality with which the Identical Pictures team approaches every project. They don’t just deliver in terms of service, however, but in terms of the quality of what they bring to the table physically. To ensure the ultimate in high quality production, the team have been able to secure every piece of equipment that might be needed to produce high quality entertainment. Their film equipment rental house saves production companies the hassle of shipping from abroad. Recently, the team have been able to secure new ARRI Alexa Mini LFs, a new Panther dolly, and a large mobile crane which have proven to be the perfect complements to their stateof-the-art Aerial and Drone Department. Capturing footage in this beautiful part of the world has never been easier thanks to the team’s incredible resources. Mauritius has long been a popular location to film, holding one of the strongest Film Rebate Schemes in Africa and South Africa and some of the most experienced film crews in this part of the world. As more and more people see the beauty that is inherent to the Indian Ocean territories, it’s clear that they will continue to be able to grow and expand their offering to more and more people. The success of this incredible venture is a credit to the hardworking team who bring each and everyone of their client’s stories to life. We can’t wait to see what they do next.
