Saudi Arabia film and digital content production and finance company Telfaz11 celebrated its 11th anniversary on Friday by announcing the start of shoot for its 11th feature film, Night Courier by Ali Al Kalthami.

Telfaz11, which was a leading player in Saudi Arabia’s YouTube space of the 2010s, has rapidly moved into feature film production following the lifting of the country’s cinema ban in late 2017, cutting deals with Netflix and burgeoning local exhibitor Muvi to finance its slate. Telfaz11 celebrates its 11th anniversary on 11/11/2022 with the start of its 11th produced film,” the company said in a statement. “Telfaz11 continues to show its ethos of pushing comedic boundaries by always celebrating the 11th iteration of its most critical milestones, rather than the more common 10th.” Riyadh-set dark comedy Night Courier revolves around a young man who gets involved in a high-risk bootlegging scheme to raise money for medical treatment for his sick father.

The film was unveiled last December at the inaugural edition of the Red Sea Film Festival’s project market, the Red Sea Souk.

It is on a slate of four productions being developed by Telfaz11 in partnership with Paris-based Easy Riders Films. Mohammed AlDokhi, who got his first breaks in a number of Telfaz11’s short-form digital productions, is playing the lead.
