The Creative Media Authority (CMA) has launched a new strategic partnership which will provide significant postproduction and visual effects (VFX) technical support for the influx of film and TV production coming into Abu Dhabi following an enhanced film and TV production rebate which was unveiled at the start of 2025.
Operating for more than 25 years and working with leading brands including Amazon, Blumhouse, Miramax, Apple, Samsung, Renault, Lexus, IBM, BMW, Unilever and Adidas, visual effects and postproduction specialist T-VFX has opened its Middle East headquarters from Yas Island, Abu Dhabi to provide comprehensive services encompassing film, TVs, TVCs, immersive experiences, exhibitions, experimental and digital media projects. The T-VFX team has opened a VFX unit to support on a variety of services through studios, editing suites, and volume stage and will also offer training and internships to CMA-identified youth talent and host workshops for established talent based in the emirate.
Mohamed Dobay, Acting Director General of Creative Media Authority, said: “This strategic partnership will significantly boost the postproduction offering on the ground for production teams locally, regionally and internationally.
“As our creative ecosystem grows and diversifies, we are forging relationships which will support us in our goal to reinforce Abu Dhabi’s position as a top-tier global creative media hub, driving and empowering content creation and innovation within a thriving ecosystem.”
Majd Nassif, Managing Partner of T-VFX, said: "We’re proud to launch our Middle East headquarters in Abu Dhabi, an emirate that is quickly establishing itself as a global production powerhouse. With T-VFX’s decades of experience in high-end visual effects and postproduction, we’re excited to contribute to the region’s creative ecosystem, collaborate with the incredible talent across the MENA region, and deliver world-class content, setting a new benchmark for the industry across the region.”
