about our services

With incidents of parental child abduction doubling over the past decade, the European Commission saw the need for an educational film. Synima were tasked with shooting an authentic storyline in a real airport environment, using carefully selected actors. We obtained the necessary permissions to work with children as well as within an airport environment and detailed logistics were put in place to meet airside security requirements.

The editing process played a key role in the final production, allowing us to build up tension and mislead the audience before revealing a twist. The EU wanted to target an international audience with this film, so everything was created to make it work in 27 languages.
