At Abu Dhabi Media Hub twofour54

H.E. Maryam Eid AlMheiri, CEO of Media Zone Authority – Abu Dhabi and twofour54.
 

Production is underway at Abu Dhabi media hub twofour54 on Catsaway, an animated feature-length film by Emirati director Fadel Saeed AlMuhairi from Tent Pictures. H.E. Maryam Eid AlMheiri, CEO of Media Zone Authority – Abu Dhabi and twofour54, says: “Tent Pictures is yet another success story for twofour54. And we are particularly delighted to see a homegrown firm such as Tent Pictures producing this feature-length animated film. It showcases the incredible talent, creativity, and facilities of our thriving media industry in Abu Dhabi. As a champion of quality Emirati produced content, it is rewarding for twofour54 to see that consumers have appetite for content that reflects this region’s heritage and character and it reinforces our commitment to supporting its production. Quality content is our driving force. It is one of the reasons why so many local, regional, and international companies are choosing Abu Dhabi for their productions.
 

Production underway on Catsaway
 
Catsaway is Director Fadel Saeed AlMuhairi’s first animated film. He commented: “Film and animation talent has flourished in recent years, as many companies have started to explore it. We are starting to see exceptional, visually stunning and engaging productions. As an Emirati filmmaker, I am proud that the UAE is supporting this growth industry. Hopefully, we can entertain audiences not only at home, but also on a global scale and show the world that the UAE has strong creativity and talent in animation. Featuring traditional hand-drawn animation, ‘Catsaway’ is going to be the perfect nostalgia-trip for adults, as well as being entertaining and educational for youngsters.”

Catsaway is the story of a group of stray cats trying to make a home in Abu Dhabi as the city rapidly evolves around them. Utilising traditional hand-drawn animation rather than computer generated images, Catsaway is produced by Tent Pictures Productions, in cooperation with Juice Studios in Poland. After more than a year of pre-production work, the frames of the hand-drawn movie are now being put together under the direction of Fadel Saeed AlMuhairi AlMuhairi.

Tent Pictures was founded by Fadel Saeed AlMuhairi, and partners Mohamad M. Numan, and Mohamad Jawad at twofour54 in 2013. AlMuhairi helmed Abood Kandaishan, which was nominated for 2014’s Muhr Emirati Award at Dubai International Film Festival (DIFF). The company has several productions under its belt, with ‘Catsaway’ its latest project.
