About
We’re a production company by definition – and global collaborations turned us into something more: a trusted service production partner. Now here we are, ready to make things happen.
Our main hub is Warsaw – the city we started in. It gives us access to outstanding production quality, long-standing supplier partnerships, and the benefits of scale as Central Europe’s largest production company.
For over 20 years, we’ve created more than four thousand ads, films, and branded stories for clients in Poland and far beyond it.
And along the way, some of the world’s leading production companies have trusted us – not because we put on a show, but because we put in the work. No matter the continent, the weather, or the jet lag.
As one of the industry’s top service production partners, we do what we love most: raise the bar. And then we raise it again.
Service-specific capabilities
Our dedicated Service team has over nine years of experience working exclusively with international clients and directors – fast, precise, and wired into the details.
With trusted EPs and a lean, highly efficient crew, we deliver top-notch content without the heavyweight overhead. We’re hands-on, proactive, and fully committed to getting things done the right way, and right away. Need bidding? Locations? Quick answers? With our location library, vetted subcontractors, and a network of trusted partners, we’ll get things rolling before the brief settles.
Warsaw gives you the best quality-to-cost ratio in the region, but we can offer much more. We have our second office in Lisbon and the capability to execute any project - no matter how unconventional - anywhere across Europe.
We don’t chase trophies – but we sure help our partners catch them. Our work helped secure a few solid awards, including a Silver Lion at the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity, a One Show award, and several Golds at the KTR Awards.
Work
THE MORE WE GROW, THE MORE RESPONSIBILITY WE FEEL
When Papaya Films entered the film and advertising production market in 2006, we were a group of passionate enthusiasts eager to challenge the status quo. That challenge shaped us, we’ve learned that it’s not only about bold ideas, but also about seeing the bigger picture. That’s why, as the first in our field, we began addressing Environmental, Social and Governance issues, striving to inspire the industry and lead by example in the production sector.
Below are just some highlights of what we do - projects built systemically, tested in action, and adapted along the way.
Diversity
We are based in Warsaw, London, New York, and Lisbon, working across multiple time zones and cultures. Our projects often take us far beyond our office walls - we collaborate with production companies around the world, from large-scale commercial shoots to unique projects in places as remote as Nepal.
Having always believed that the best talent is found in unexpected places, our diversity is what makes us who we are. It’s this unique blend of backgrounds, voices, and opinions that adds depth and nuance to everything we create, making us a more dynamic and inclusive company.
Code of Ethics & Modern Slavery Statement
We have a clear Code of Ethics that applies to everyone involved with Papaya Films, on set, in the office, and across our entire supply chain, including subcontractors. It sets the standards for how we treat people and do business, without compromise.
Each year we also publish a Modern Slavery Statement and actively check that no one working with or for us is being exploited, underpaid, or forced to work in unsafe conditions.
AdGreen Carbon Calculator
In 2024 we’re proud to rank 3rd globally in using the AdGreen Carbon Calculator and have held SuperUser status for two years running. This tool helps us measure direct and indirect energy emissions on every production, giving us clear data to track our carbon footprint and take real steps to reduce it.
