Video production in Paris
Fikra is a film studio based in Paris and San Francisco. In Paris we make video ads, launch films and brand films, in French, in English, or in both.
A Paris studio with roots in film
Cette Odeur, a five-minute short, won the Mashup Culture first prize, held at Mediawan with a jury from the French National Commission for UNESCO. That short-film background shapes our ads and brand films: story first, image and sound working together.
French startups going to the US, and the reverse
With a foot in Paris and one in San Francisco, we help French companies launch in the US and American companies arrive in France, with versions that sound native in each market rather than translated. Projects can run in English, French, Arabic and Spanish.
Shooting in Paris
Shooting on Paris streets needs permission from the city's film office, the Paris Film Office. We include it in the schedule in the proposal, along with locations, casting and crew.
