Old School Production was founded in 2014 by Gino Vassallo. By then Gino already had a decade in the UAE industry behind him, and that now adds up to 22 years working across commercials, music videos, corporate films, documentaries, shorts and features.
He arrived in 2004 and never left. He came up the hard way, starting out in unit and locations, moving through the camera department, then climbing the production ranks from coordinator to producer. Along the way he worked on major international productions including Mission Impossible, and was line producer on From A to B, before building OSP into a company that gets trusted with serious work across the region.
The proudest of that work is Al Kameen, the Emirati feature directed by Pierre Morel and the biggest project to carry the OSP name. Around it sit credits like the landmark documentary series The History of the Emirates, with projects delivered across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Lebanon and Qatar.
Behind all of it is a regional network of crew, suppliers and contacts that took two decades to build, and a way of working that has never really changed. No gimmicks, no shortcuts, and a genuine respect for production value.
