Palm Film

What Palm Film does

Palm Film is a private, founder-owned film and content production studio headquartered in the Beşiktaş district of Istanbul, Turkey. The company operates three core production lines: Narrative (feature films and TV/web series across drama, romance, comedy, and thriller), Branded Content (commercials and branded entertainment for corporate clients), and Music Videos (visual content for artists and labels). Per company-provided history, the firm traces approximately 15 years of operational experience to a 2010 founding; firmographics also cite 2021 as a founding year, indicating either a reincorporation or a date discrepancy that should be resolved in diligence. All three divisions share in-house production capabilities spanning direction, cinematography, set design, editing, VFX supervision, and film scoring, with Palm Film positioned as a full-service creative-to-delivery provider.

The company's commercial model is project-based professional services. Branded content and music videos are delivered under one-off production fee arrangements with corporate clients and labels, while narrative work generates revenue through licensing and co-production economics — most notably a core co-production relationship with TRT, the Turkish state broadcaster. Customer concentration is spread across 15+ named enterprise clients including Vodafone, Turkcell, Fiat, Henkel, Persil, S7 Airlines, Yandex Go, Hepiyi Sigorta, and Icelandic Glacial, spanning telecommunications, automotive, consumer goods, aviation, technology, insurance, and beverage verticals. Geographic reach is primarily Turkey-anchored but includes project-based work for international brands in Russia, Iceland, and Germany.

Palm Film's go-to-market is relationship-led and portfolio-driven: the firm showcases work on a Vimeo channel and Instagram, attends industry events, and relies on direct outreach to brand advertisers, agencies, broadcasters, and streaming platforms. The company has also built a distribution foothold in digital micro-drama through a partnership with Dramapops, indicating a deliberate pivot toward short-form vertical-format content alongside its traditional long-form work. The firm is bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and no institutional investors identified.
