ABL Films is a production house based in Cyprus and Lebanon, specialising in high-budget TV commercia

19/06/2024

At ABL Films, we’ve always embraced bold risks and innovation. Investing in our BOLT high-speed cinebot and KINISI for mass product videos was a significant leap for us.

Everyone said it was a risky move, that the Cyprus market wasn’t ready and couldn’t support such advancements. But we believed in our vision and moved forward, driven by our commitment to excellence and pushing boundaries.

Today, our studio is operating at full capacity with international clients who appreciate and utilize our advanced equipment. Sadly, the local market in Cyprus has yet to catch up — no clients from Cyprus have tapped into these incredible resources.

Cypriot companies and ad agencies, it’s time to dream bigger and aim higher. We have the cutting-edge technology and expertise right here on the island to produce world-class advertising films. Our motion control capabilities and high-end production values aren't just for international clients.

They're for you.

Let's elevate the standard of advertising in Cyprus and showcase our potential to the world. Dream big, reach out, and let's create something extraordinary together.

Our Story

It all began back in 1991, when the founder of ABL decided to move from being creative in one of the largest advertising agencies in the Middle East into a small production office down the road.

One director, one producer, one secretary.

It stayed that way for couple of years.

Business grew, so offices were opened in Lebanon and Greece, to service advertising agencies and clients spread throughout the Middle East, Gulf, and North Africa, such as FP7, McCann, FCB, BBDO, JWT, Leo Burnett, Links Communications, Ogilvy, Saatchi, Y&R, and clients including 7UP, Cadbury, Coca Cola, Danone, Ford, Nestle, Nescafe, P&G, Pepsi, Sprite, STC, Suzuki, Vodafone, and many more.
