Film AlUla in Saudi Arabia has started construction of a cutting-edge studio complex in an effort to kick-start the next phase in northwest Arabia\u2019s emergence as a regional hub for the screen sector.<\/p>\n

Completion of the complex\u2019s first phase, encompassing approximately 30,000 square meters (330,000 square feet), is targeted for the fourth quarter of 2023.<\/p>\n

The first phase of the complex will include two world-class soundstages, production support buildings, workshops, a pyro\/SFX building, catering facility and admin building, plus a 6,500 square meter backlot and a sound recording studio. The complex will also be near 12 square kilometers of dedicated outdoor shooting locations.<\/p>\n

Charlene Deleon-Jones, executive director of Film AlUla, said: \u201cAlUla is a thriving center for arts, culture and heritage. With the film and screen sector of central focus, the first phase of this studio complex is carefully planned and part of a much larger program of infrastructure development.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added: \u201cThis complex will satisfy the growing demand from regional and international producers to shoot at AlUla while also supplying an epicenter for our production ecosystem. The studio complex will diversify AlUla\u2019s economy, in line with the objectives of RCU, as we build a home to nurture Saudi talent in the screen sector for generations to come.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
