PATHFINDER

日本語

Palma Pictures is one of the world’s leading production service companies. Based on the island of Mallorca, and catering to a global client base, it has provided service for over 800 commercials and 20 feature films.

The company was founded in 1993 by Ola Holmgren, a renowned Swedish commercials producer. He was one of the first industry professionals to recognize the filming potential Mallorca had to offer in terms of locations, climate and proximity. Originally operating out of a small office in the heart of Palma’s old town, this entrepreneur’s new venture was christened Palma Pictures.

The original team was made up of a mixture of enthusiastic locals and foreign residents and today one of the company’s strengths continues to be its diversity borne from this eclectic mixture of cultures and backgrounds. English and Spanish are spoken by all the crew. Other languages include Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, German, French, Italian, Dutch and Japanese.

The company now employs 35 full-time staff and collaborates regularly with a wide selection of local freelancers whilst maintaining strong relationships with specialized crew from mainland Spain.

The 4,500m² studio complex was commissioned in 1998 in order to provide state-of-the-art facilities for visiting productions and was opened in 2000. Improvements are constantly being made and site expansion plans drawn up.

Palma Pictures has strong ties with the local government and authorities and in September 2009 received the annual award from Mallorca’s Chamber of Commerce for innovating and evolving a new industry within the province.

Palma Pictures is committed to being a socially responsible company and works with crew, clients and suppliers to help create a more sustainable approach to high-quality film production, while aiming to minimize our environmental footprint, create a great workplace for both employees and clients and promote diversity within the company.
