What Ti22 Films does

Ti22 Films is a Dubai-based boutique video and film production house founded in 2008 by Reim El Houni. The company positions itself as a full-service production partner for enterprise, government, and brand clients, delivering corporate films, TV commercials, branded content, animation, social media video, training videos, and event coverage for accounts including HSBC, BBC, BASF, ENOC, IBM, DCAA, DAFZA, EGA, Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, and TEDx Abu Dhabi. Its service model is project-based and quote-driven, with each engagement scoped to client specifications and executed by a small in-house creative team led by Creative Director Sofia De Fay and Director of Photography Richard Latham.

The company's underlying capability stack centers on end-to-end film production — pre-production planning, on-location and studio shooting across the UAE and broader MENA region, post-production editing, motion graphics, CGI, and 2D animation. It also operates an international shoot facilitation service that functions as a production logistics and fixer offering for foreign productions filming in the region. Reputation is built on a documented award record, with more than 20 international awards including recognitions at the New York Festivals and the Cannes Corporate Media Awards; a 25th-anniversary branded documentary for The ENTERTAINER was shortlisted at the New York Festivals 2026.

Commercially, Ti22 Films operates as a privately held for-profit boutique with a headcount of 1–10 employees. Revenue is generated through individual project contracts rather than recurring subscriptions or retained mandates, and no financial metrics, funding history, or ownership disclosures are publicly available. The business model depends on continued inbound enterprise RFP activity and repeat engagements from established client verticals (banking, oil and gas, healthcare, aviation, government free zones, and broadcasters), supplemented by inbound interest generated through its international award positioning.
