TODO SOBRE ARYA

our work

Arya Worldwide is a global film development, production, and distribution company. We specifically work with some of the most talented names you’ve never heard of, in order to make entertainment entertaining again.

We do this by building specialized, deep relationships with local industry talent, both in front of the camera and behind it. We bring some of the most talented artists of our time their first opportunity at directing, writing a feature-length screenplay, or starring in a career-defining role.

Importantly, by combining our filmmaking experience with our global network of talent and 30+ years of experience in scouting for excellence, we bring investors underrecognized opportunities that produce outsized results.
