Inspired by the island\u2019s light and landscapes, he and Grete decided to make it their home. Soon after settling in Palma\u2019s old town, they opened an office and brought their vision to life under the name Palma Pictures.
\nTheir idea quickly attracted international filmmakers looking for cinematic quality in a Mediterranean setting. Throughout the 90s and early 2000s, Palma Pictures expanded its services beyond commercials, opening its purpose-built studio complex just outside Palma, becoming a hub for high-end TVCs, feature films, and TV dramas. Today, this 4,500m\u00b2 production studio offers a wide range of facilities, including a 1,000m\u00b2 sound stage, wardrobe and dressing rooms, workshops, a restaurant and more.
\nBy the mid-2000s, Palma Pictures had established itself as one of Europe\u2019s leading production service companies, working with major global brands and film studios while continuously investing in its team and facilities to remain at the forefront of the industry.<\/p>\nIn the last decade, the company expanded geographically, opening offices in Barcelona, the Canary Islands and Lisbon to service productions across mainland Spain, Portugal and the islands, offering seamless end-to-end solutions with local expertise.
\nWith over 30 years of experience, Palma Pictures continues to combine its heritage with innovation, sustainability, and a people-first culture, supporting some of the world\u2019s most renowned filmmakers, photographers and creatives.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”ppwasborn”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”80px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/3″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][vc_column_text el_class=”timeline-txt”]Palma Pictures was born<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n1993<\/h3>Founded by Ola and Grete Holmgren<\/div><\/li>
