What Miramar Film does

Miramar Film is a Bulgarian film and advertising production company headquartered in Sofia, founded in 2001 by Ilian Djevelekov, Matey Konstantinov, and Georgi Dimitrov. The company operates as a full-service production house offering TV commercials (fiction and animation), feature films, documentaries, animated films, TV series, corporate events, visual effects, and set design and construction, with an in-house VFX team and animation capabilities spanning the production pipeline from concept through post-production. Miramar also operates a service production arm (mfproduction.bg) providing location and crew services for foreign productions shooting in Bulgaria.

The company serves two distinct revenue-generating motions. The first is an enterprise commercial production business serving Bulgarian advertisers across banking (CIBANK, DSK, Raiffeisen), telecoms (A1, Mtel, Telenor), FMCG (JACOBS, NESTLE, INTERSNACK, BELLA, ELEA), energy (LUKOIL, Contour Global), and retail (Praktiker, Technopolis), engaged via direct sales. The second is a feature film and TV series production motion with international co-productions spanning Germany, Austria, France, Russia, Azerbaijan, Kosovo, Albania, Switzerland, Serbia, and Poland, supported by Bulgarian National Film Center funding and partnerships with Bulgarian National Television. Miramar's films have been recognized at international festivals including Moscow IFF, Venice IFF (Orizzonti opening with PELICAN BLOOD), Berlin, Annecy, and Toronto, and OMNIPRESENT (2017) was Bulgaria's official Oscar entry for Best Foreign Language Film.

Miramar Film remains privately held by its three co-founders, with no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and no M&A activity. The company employs 11-50 people and operates from a single headquarters in Sofia. Pricing is custom and project-based with no public disclosure, consistent with a relationship-driven enterprise production business.

• The Mill: Global VFX, design, and production studio serving advertising and film clients. Miramar's in-house VFX and animation capability mirrors The Mill's positioning as a technical-credible partner embedded within commercial and feature film production pipelines.
• UFA: UFA is Germany's largest TV and film production company, producing scripted series, feature films, and entertainment formats — a broader-scale counterpart to Miramar's combined film, TV series, and commercial production model. Comparable on multi-format production and co-production deal-making at European scale.
• Fremantle: One of the world's largest content producers spanning drama, entertainment, documentaries, and branded content across 200+ territories. Comparable as a producer of scripted TV series and co-productions, though operating at vastly greater global scale than Miramar.
• Bavaria Film: German full-service film studio producing feature films, TV series, and providing production services for international shoots — comparable to Miramar's combination of domestic feature production and service production for foreign productions filming in Bulgaria.
• Studio Babelsberg: Germany's oldest large-scale film studio offers feature film production, co-production services for international shoots, and service production for foreign projects in Germany — directly parallel to Miramar's service-production offering for foreign shoots in Bulgaria via mfproduction.bg.
