Cinematic storytelling
from the ground
to the sky
Open Gate Films is a Dubai-based production company specializing in aerial cinematography, FPV drone filming and commercial video production across the UAE and worldwide.
Aerial filming, FPV and drone services, cleared to fly.
We are an aerial filming company in Dubai. Cinema drones, custom FPV cinelifters and small ducted drones that fly indoors and close to people — plus the paperwork that makes those shots legal in the UAE. A Dubai aerial crew that flies drones from rooftops and deserts to live stadium broadcasts.
For developers and contractors we fly the same site every month and put the footage in a private Developer Portal — not in expiring download links.

Aerial Filming

Events, Concerts & Sports
Crowd-safe aerial coverage for concerts, sports and large events — including live broadcast feeds and flypast coordination.
Video Production
End-to-end production for brand films, commercials and documentaries — concept, permits, crew, cinema and drone units, edit and grade.
Construction Updates
Recurring aerial and ground capture documenting build progress — timelapses, monthly reports and stakeholder-ready deliverables.
Mapping & Inspection
Photogrammetry, orthomosaics and 3D site models alongside high-resolution inspection imagery for infrastructure and assets.
Agriculture & Field Inspection
Multispectral and visual drone surveys for farms and irrigation — crop health, field mapping and asset monitoring.
