Our story

Authenticity in the service of action.

PL Production was born from the meeting of two passions: cinema and real-life experience.

Built on a friendship of more than twenty years between Pascal Feixes and Lat Dior Diop, the company has grown through its collaboration with Elhadji Gora Thiam, a professional screenwriter known for the power of his stories and the precision of his dialogue.

Our approach

Reality as raw material

A former French serviceman and special forces instructor, Pascal Feixes took part in numerous conflicts around the world before bringing unique experience and an authentic perspective on action and special operations to PL Production. His stories draw on real events experienced in the field, carefully reworked to protect the confidentiality of missions and those involved.

PL Production projects stand out for their striking realism, dramatic intensity and operational credibility. Every detail, from the screenplay to the equipment shown on screen, is carefully considered to fully immerse the audience and deliver a uniquely authentic cinematic experience.

The combination of Pascal Feixes's experience and Elhadji Gora Thiam's writing creates powerful works in which action, emotion and realism meet uncompromising artistic standards. Together, they build a strong, immersive universe for international audiences seeking fiction inspired by real life.

For a co-production or a shoot in Senegal, this experience brings a concrete understanding of action scenes, careful attention to character writing, and knowledge of the Dakar terrain. PL Production can engage with producers, directors, technical crews and distribution partners on demanding projects, designed to stay credible both on screen and in execution.
