Aissa Zaoui

Hello Stage32 Community,

I’m proud to be the co-founder of IMAL Production, a Moroccan production company that I’ve been building since 2008. My passion lies in all things visual, especially cinema and photography, which has driven me to create a company that offers production services and production execution for both national and international clients.

Being here on Stage32 among such talented professionals from around the world is truly an honor. It’s an incredible opportunity to learn, grow, and connect with like-minded individuals who share the same passion for storytelling and visual arts.

I look forward to engaging with this amazing community, exchanging ideas, and collaborating on exciting projects.

Warm regards to all members of the Stage32 community!

Hi, Aissa Zaoui. Hope you're doing great! What's the story behind your production company's name?

Aissa Zaoui

All good, thanks! IMAL means "Future" in Amazigh (Berber). Chosen for our vision of creating innovative, forward-looking projects. Short but powerful!

Maurice Vaughan

You're welcome, Aissa Zaoui. "Future." I really like that! What project is IMAL Production working on?

Aissa Zaoui

We just wrapped up a commercial project for a French sunscreen brand, shot here in Morocco, in Taghazout. We provided full production services, from location scouting and obtaining filming permits to organizing the shoot. Currently, we’re working on another similar project that we hope will come to fruition. And what about you, what are you working on?

Maurice Vaughan

Congratulations on wrapping the commercial project, Aissa Zaoui! Looking forward to seeing it one day. And the other project. I'm rewriting two feature scripts, writing a short script, and working on other projects here and there.

Aissa Zaoui

Thank you so much! I'm really glad to meet you as well. It sounds like you’ve got some great things going on—best of luck with your scripts and projects!

Let’s stay in touch!

Maurice Vaughan

You're welcome, Aissa Zaoui. Thanks. Best to you and your partner on projects! Yeah, let's definitely stay in touch!

Great to have you here Aissa Zaoui ! What types of productions have you been seeing in Morocco lately? Have you been seeing co-country films been shooting there? If so, from what countries?

Aissa Zaoui

Thank you! It's great to be here. Recently, Morocco has been hosting some major international productions. Right now, the filming of Odyssey by Christopher Nolan is taking place, which is really exciting for the film industry here. Additionally, an action movie starring John Cena is being filmed in Casablanca. It's a great time for Morocco's film scene, with productions from Hollywood and beyond choosing Morocco for its diverse and cinematic landscapes.
