Company

Hi. We're Petit Telephone. We're a media-tech company building the next generation of Arabic storytelling, made for the smallest screens.

We're a small team. We like it that way.

Arab audiences watch stories on their phones, in short moments, all day long. Yet most of what they watch was made for TV and cut down for mobile.

We were always told a phone screen was too small for real stories.

So we built a studio that writes, shoots and releases series for the vertical screen, from the very first page, in the language people actually speak.

We believe in volume. An industry isn't built on one big hit. It's built on a hundred good stories.

We make many series, at the right budget, one after another. Every series trains a crew, grows an audience and pays for the next one. They all live on Sahran, our microdrama app.

We're a bit of a strange production company: part studio, part tech.

We work with writers, directors, actors and editors who want to make series, not one-off projects.

Sahran is where our stories live.
