About Hollywood Influence Studios
Hollywood Influence Studios is a new-generation film production company founded by Gaël Bonnel Sanchez—a visionary producer whose career was shaped through a decade of high-level collaboration with Nu Boyana Film Studios, part of Millennium Media, the Hollywood powerhouse behind global franchises like The Expendables, Rambo, and Has Fallen.
With a background bridging business, creativity, and technology, Gaël’s goal with Hollywood Influence Studios is clear: to produce one extraordinary cinematic event per year—stories that merge powerful human narratives with pioneering technology and international reach.
A Studio Built on Vision
Hollywood Influence is more than a production company—it’s a creative ecosystem. It was designed to operate as a filmmaking laboratory, where innovation and emotion coexist.
“Technology is a tool that must serve people, not the other way around,” says Gaël.
The studio brings together talents from across the world—writers, directors, visual artists, tech pioneers, and industry veterans—to develop films that are bold, intelligent, and relevant.
With deep industry experience, strategic alliances, and an understanding of both creative and commercial storytelling, Hollywood Influence positions itself as a studio of the future: agile, global, and fearless.
A New Way of Producing: Above The End
The studio’s debut production, Above The End, perfectly reflects this philosophy.
Poised to become the first film in history shot at the edge of space, the project is developed in partnership with Zephalto, pioneers in stratospheric flight and collaborators of the European Space Agency and Airbus. The story—kept deliberately under wraps—is a deeply human epic, set against an extraordinary backdrop.
“It’s not science fiction—it could happen today,” says Gaël.
But Above The End is more than a film—it’s a blueprint for how Hollywood Influence will operate:
- Merging Art with Science: Collaborations with Zephalto and Eat 4 Good (a food-tech company with over 1 billion meals distributed) redefine what partnerships in cinema can look like.
- Elite Risk Management: Backed by Straife, a global firm made up of former White House, CIA, and military advisors, ensuring compliance, global safety standards, and intelligence-informed production strategy.
- Creative Freedom Meets Strategic Planning: The film already attracts major cast and investor interest even before pre-production—a testament to the trust and credibility behind the Hollywood Influence model.
“We don’t chase stars—we attract them through vision,” says Gaël. “The same goes for partners and financiers.”
The Hollywood Influence Model
Every project produced by Hollywood Influence will follow the same principles:
- Fewer films. Greater impact. We produce less, but with purpose. Quality over quantity, always. Films developed with care, ambition, and precision.
- Seamless integration of virtual production, Unreal Engine environments, and real-world locations.
- A commitment to international co-productions, empowering cultural exchange and global storytelling.
- Strategic partnerships with industries beyond film, including aerospace, food, luxury, and tech.
Designed for the Future of Film
Hollywood Influence Studios was never meant to be just a space—it is a fully dedicated creative engine, designed to bring our stories to life with total control and clarity. From Vision to Viewer, every detail is purposefully aligned to serve our singular creative approach.
It’s not a platform for the many. It’s a studio built for the few stories that truly matter.
Hollywood Influence Studios isn’t here to follow trends.
It’s here to set them.
