MoviePlus Productions

What MoviePlus Productions does

MoviePlus Productions is an Israeli independent film and television production company founded in 2005 by David Mandil and headquartered in Tel Aviv. The company produces drama series, feature films, and documentaries, with a catalogue of over 25 feature films that includes two Academy Award-nominated titles (Footnote and Beaufort) and prestige series such as Our Boys for HBO and Keshet Broadcasting. Internationally distributed content includes 'Borders' co-developed with Netflix and ZDF Germany, and 'Seven Figures' sold to Netflix.

The company's service portfolio spans end-to-end production support: pre-production (research, budgeting, scheduling), production (equipment rental, crew hire, casting, accommodation, transportation), and post-production. It also offers location scouting services — leveraging a diverse Israeli location portfolio (deserts, mountains, rivers, beaches, Dead Sea, Jerusalem, historic structures) — and production financing for both local and international projects.

Revenue is generated primarily through content licensing and royalty arrangements with global broadcast networks and streaming platforms (HBO, Netflix, ZDF Germany), supplemented by production services and financing fees. The company operates with a small core team (1–10 employees, five named key members) and uses a direct, sales-led go-to-market built on long-standing relationships with major international buyers rather than broad marketing channels. No external institutional funding or parent company is reported.
