Our Mission

Capital D’s mission is to elevate the Middle Eastern region as an international production destination. By providing the platform for creative production, the facilities and the support, we aim to encourage international production teams and the best international creative talent to recognise Dubai as a key production industry on par with international standards.

Through education and credible industry standards, we aim to make Dubai and the Middle East as key destinations on the annual itinerary of the world’s specialized photographers, directors, stylists and other creative talent as a city that is important in developing their growth and career.

We are also passionate about local talent. Activities such as workshops, exhibitions, sponsorships and internships are important to nurture and promote talented individuals. These events are key on our annual agenda and we are active in the local creative education community to inspire regional talent, nurture them and allow a platform for them to speak to the world through their creativity.
