What we make

The history of your organisation, city or heritage, sourced line by line

We make documentaries the Mishkat way: a source file for every film, each quotation matched word for word to its source by volume and page before the script is written, differing accounts all told without choosing between them, and no date or saying invented.

What we make in it

  • An organisation's history for its anniversary
  • The history of a city, a district or a landmark
  • History and heritage series
  • An audio version for podcasts

How we do it

  1. A source file per episode; every quotation is matched to its source before the script is approved.
  2. Maps drawn from geographic data, and titles in Arabic calligraphic scripts.
  3. Period dress in every scene; prophets are never depicted in films on Islamic history.

What you receive

  • 01The episode in widescreen, and a vertical promo cut from it
  • 02A subtitle file for each language, shown or hidden at will
  • 03The source file, an audio version, and a broadcast-loudness version on request
