04How We Work

Four promises that shape every production.

01 · Experience

Senior on every shoot.

No junior handoffs. The people you brief are the people on set, every day, from prep to wrap.

02 · Discipline

Paperwork that travels.

Call sheets, permits, insurance, customs, carnets — built to the standard your home office expects to see.

03 · Trust

Crew and vendors on speed dial.

Years of relationships across Iraq and the region — not cold calls. Access translates into time, money, and locations.

04 · Standards

Workflows that match yours.

Built to slot into international agency, broadcaster, and direct-to-brand pipelines without friction or translation.

05Where We Work

Iraq-based. Regionally fluent.

Backbone is built as a bridge — local enough to move quickly on the ground, connected enough to plug into international productions without translation.
