Documentary drama for Viasat History:

Sebastian Peiter

Producer, United Kingdom

“Colibri Exec Naryn is a great Line Producer understanding needs of foreign crews and pulling together complex historic drama shoots. Since we have a very busy schedule of filming the trilogy on three continents, we were looking for an independent private film studio in Kazakhstan. So, we went to the director of COLIBRI FILMS Naryn Igilik, who has behind him such famous films as “Mongol”, “Shal”, “Kazakh Khanate”. I am glad that Naryn and his team have fully met our expectations. In a very short time they were able to shoot realistic scenes in very high quality!”
