AAMU FILM COMPANY LTD Aamu Film Company Ltd was founded in 2001, and we have produced both fiction and documentary films in various lengths. Over the years, we have noticed that the art of cinema is serious fun. If we do not like something, we do not do it. But when we do, we give it everything. That is what we are good at. We aim to build long relationships with directors and screenwriters who have a unique approach to filmmaking. We usually start from short films and proceed to international feature films in order to make their style, content and ensemble to reach their peak. We know that content always shapes the form, and that every film making process has to be custommade for the content in question. Our mission is to change the way of seeing our everyday life by producing truthful films that will be remembered for decades to come.
