 | About Our Company Established in September 2005 in the British Virgin Islands and based in Bahrain, Sherezade Management Company (SMC) is a media consultancy and film financing company. In 2014, SMC formed a carefully curated slate of commercially viable Hollywood, European and Arab films that have attached some of the most respected talents in cinema today.
SMC was the management, operations, business development, media consultant and marketing arm of Sherezade Films (SF), which focused on business development, film financing, and production of Hollywood and international films.

The controlled budgets of these films ranged from USD$2 million to USD$14 million. In 2010, SF pursued vertical integration by acquiring Curious Pictures, whose expertise was in animation, post-production, commercial TV and advertising.
