The Company
International TV produced in the UAE.
Pearl Light Productions is establishing Abu Dhabi's first dedicated investment vehicle to finance high end television. Working with leading international production companies, we are financing a slate of original content produced directly from Abu Dhabi.
The backstory
Dan and Frank have been friends since their school days in Dublin, Ireland. Their careers took different paths — Frank into business, Dan onto film and television sets as a production runner. Soon after Dan's first show was optioned, Frank relocated to Abu Dhabi with JP Morgan. Throughout, Frank was a steadfast supporter of Dan's work. Their joint venture was inspired by Dan's experience navigating the uncertainties of the TV industry and Frank's proposal for structuring direct financing for those projects. In 2026 they combined their expertise to form Pearl Light Productions.
