Who are we ?
Serendip Productions (Pvt) Ltd was established in 1997 by Huma Mustafa Beg, Dr Farooq Beg & Umar Mustafa - an international award winning producer and director team, originally based in the UK joined by a former Investment Banker. Based in Islamabad, today Serendip is one of the leading production companies in Pakistan and has already established a sound international reputation for itself. The company consists of a closely knit team of media professionals and trainees, each with their unique areas of specialisation.

What we do ?
Serendip Productions was set up with the aim of creating a niche for advocacy and development based documentary films produced in Pakistan and by Pakistani film makers, for an international broadcast market. Eventually, this initiative is to culminate in a regular public broadcast service channel for Pakistan. And as the company continues to grow, our work has begun to include issue-based drama serials and light entertainment magazine programmes for television.
