Hollywood Influence is a Film Studio 3.0 developing original cinematic projects and global IPs.

Through its vertical division, 9:16 Studios, the company produces next-generation storytelling formats designed for a new generation of audiences, supported by its owned editorial platform.

Founded by Gaël Bonnel Sanchez, former Marketing Director of Nu Boyana Film Studios—one of Europe’s largest film studio complexes and a subsidiary of Millennium Media, whose broader production ecosystem includes more than 400 Hollywood feature films and major franchises such as Rambo, The Expendables, Hitman and Hellboy—Hollywood Influence has developed a unique approach where creative ambition is aligned with production realities from the earliest stages.

At its core, Hollywood Influence is building the future of cinema through vertical storytelling—an approach first envisioned more than a decade ago by its founder—now leading the development of the first Hollywood-scale cinematic vertical blockbuster of its kind, Above The End, combining narrative innovation with industrial-scale execution.

Creative direction spans story development, universe building, casting intent, and visual identity, ensuring each project remains coherent, scalable, and culturally relevant across formats and platforms.
