Two filmmakers passionate about storytelling were connected with the love for community and identity.
Starting Women in Film Emirates in 2017 (now MISHKA Community) that helped the network of filmmaking professionals to connect; from this, MISHKA was born.
What started as a writers room determined to prove that new ideas have a place in the filmmaking industry is now an operating company out of Abu Dhabi that puts our values at the core of everything we do.
We believe the essence of a great film is a great story, at MISHKA we are dedicated to crafting, developing, and writing cinematic scripts for TV, Film, and Commercials.

Mishk ns
The little monster inside our heads, that always stops us from writing and make us fear finishing any idea or script!
Spidery
climbs your head at the end of the night, keeps you up with your worst fear
Ghosty
is slimy, attacks when you least except it, crawls into your head easily
Octopusy
thinks that he can multitask everything in life, which puts him in trouble usually
Cloudy
likes to fly, and dream big. But his worst fear is a dark rainy night, that you can't get out of
Edgy
is very protective of his ideas, he becomes very edgy when anyone comments on any of his ideas
