Le Hangar

What Le Hangar does

Le Hangar Production is an independent French film production company founded in 2022 in Montreuil, Île-de-France. The company is led by three co-founders — Iris Gastellu-Etchegorry, Orfeo Marin, and Hayat Aljowaily — and operates as what its own website describes as a 'Maison de production,' producing short films (courts-métrages), feature films (longs-métrages), and music video clips. Its short film catalog spans fiction, documentary, animation, and experimental formats, with works such as '47 pouces', 'Amour', 'Godzalina', and the feature 'Flush'. Its music video roster features established French rap and hip-hop artists including Vald, Soprano, Sadek, Rimkus, LACRIM, and Alfheim. Core technology and workflows are conventional film and video production; there is no proprietary technology stack, app, API, or AI component disclosed in the data.

The company's business model is project-based, generating revenue from production fees paid by music artists and labels, broadcaster pre-sales (Ciné+ OCS, France TV, Tébéo, TébéSud, TVR), coproduction financing from international partners (AJM Studio, F-Partners, AKTV Ltd in the UK; Monkey Production, White Boat Pictures, Tarantula in Belgium), and institutional public film funding (CNC, SACEM, ADAMI, CNCA, Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles, Tax Shelter Belgique, FODACIM, Région Occitanie, Région Bretagne). Distribution is handled through film festivals, dedicated international sales agents (Flow Sales, Freak Agency, Hors du Bocal), and pre-sale agreements with broadcasters. Pricing is negotiated per project and is not publicly disclosed.

Le Hangar's go-to-market is event-driven, anchored by festival submissions (Annecy, Fantasia, Frightfest, L'Etrange, Clermont-Ferrand, Cannes Short Film Corner, BIFFF, Cinémania, Fantaspoa) that function as both demand generation and distribution channels. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, parent entity, funding rounds, or M&A activity. Its geographic footprint as a producer spans France, Belgium, the UK, and select international festival markets including Canada, Argentina, Egypt, and Israel, supported by Hayat Aljowaily's dedicated international coproduction development remit.
