SYMBIOTIC PICTURES — PRESTIGE CINEMA WITH A GLOBAL FOOTPRINT
Symbiotic Pictures is an independent production company with two distinct feature films in active development: Birdeye, a high-concept espionage thriller, and Raising the Dead, an atmospheric supernatural mystery. Both are WGA-registered and anchored by a strategic co-production partnership in Spain that positions each project for significant financial and creative advantage.
A Partnership Built for World-Class Filmmaking
At the heart of Symbiotic's production strategy is a collaboration with SUR-Film Production & Services, headquartered in the Canary Islands, Tenerife. Founded in 2005 by three seasoned producers, SUR-Film has grown into one of the premier production service companies in Spain, bringing decades of combined expertise across film, television, commercial, and music video production.
What sets this partnership apart is SUR-Film's unmatched track record servicing some of the most ambitious productions in recent Hollywood history, among them The Eternals (Marvel Studios), Wonder Woman 1984 (Warner Bros.), Solo: A Star Wars Story (Disney/Lucasfilm), Jason Bourne (Universal), Allied (Paramount), and Fast & Furious 6 (Universal). These are productions that demand precision logistics, expert local crews, and the kind of on-the-ground institutional knowledge that only comes from years of operating at the highest level.
SUR-Film delivers all of that and more. Their client-first philosophy, deep permitting relationships, and flexible approach to crewing make them an ideal partner for productions of any scale. Their returning client base speaks directly to their reliability.
Strategic Value: Up to 54% Tax Credits
Beyond their operational excellence, a co-production structured through SUR-Film in the Canary Islands unlocks up to 54% in qualifying tax credits, one of the most competitive production incentive programs in Europe. For Symbiotic's projects, this translates into meaningful financial leverage, reduced production cost, and enhanced return potential across all revenue windows.
Two Projects. One Distinctive Vision.
Birdeye weaves together covert intelligence and the world of music into a prestige espionage thriller with the moral complexity of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and the cultural depth of films where music is not background but narrative itself.
Raising the Dead is a slow-burn supernatural mystery set against the ancient streets and rain-soaked cemeteries of Santiago de Compostela, a story about what we bury and what refuses to stay buried. Think the dread of The Others meets the emotional weight of Hereditary, set in one of Europe's most visually distinctive landscapes.
Both projects are positioned for festival circuit entry at AFM, Cannes EFM, Berlin, and San Sebastián, and are structured for co-production, gap financing, and full integration of Spanish tax incentive programs.
Prestige storytelling. European production expertise. Real financial architecture.
