Documentary Production in Abu Dhabi
Big Story produces documentaries in Abu Dhabi — founder stories, CSR films and long-form brand journalism that earn trust by showing something real, told with cinematic craft and an honest edit.
On the ground
Filming in Abu Dhabi means Yas Island circuits, Saadiyat's cultural district, ADGM boardrooms, the Corniche and Al Reem towers. We work with twofour54 permits and the capital's government-grade approval process, so campaign and public-sector shoots stay compliant and on schedule.
For documentary that means filming on location across the emirate, following real people and process with the patience the form needs.

Frequently asked
What makes a good brand documentary?
A real story honestly told — access, characters and a point of view, not a polished sales pitch.
How long does a documentary take in Abu Dhabi?
Long-form work runs longer than an ad — typically several weeks to months depending on access and scope.
