Monolith

Monolith Limited is a Maltese media company that has been working since March 2002. Based in Ħamrun, close to the capital, it is an artist-driven company known for its creativity, and it has won awards for its work. Its output covers feature films, commercials, games and motion graphics, so it suits both international producers who need a local partner and brands that want polished moving images.

The company is listed in our directory of video production in Malta. This page explains what Monolith offers, who founded it and how a UK client can get in touch.

Company background

Monolith was founded by Nick Falzon, Chris Debono and Pedja Miletic, and it is built around a team of film and visual effects professionals. Visual effects, often shortened to VFX, are the digital images added to or created for a film so that scenes can show things that could not be shot directly. With film and VFX people in one team, a client can discuss shooting and digital finishing in the same conversation.

The company's facilities are in Malta, and its expertise, integrity and strong bond with top industry professionals allow it to provide best-in-class service to partners and clients at every stage of art and content creation. For a visiting producer, that means one point of contact from first idea to finished product.

What Monolith creates and services

Four areas stand out. Feature films come first, where Monolith creates and services productions that need a full range of film services, from the early art and content stages through to delivery. Commercials are the second strand, for brands that want broadcast-quality adverts. Games form a third area, bringing the company's artistic and technical skills to interactive projects. Motion graphics, the fourth, are animated graphics and titles that can sit within a film, an advert or an online campaign.

A behind-the-scenes section on the company's website shows crews on location, including a camera team working from a boat beside a coastline and divers filming underwater. Anyone looking for scenery to match such shoots can start with our guides to the best beaches in Malta and to the Blue Lagoon on Comino, and our Malta weather guide helps plan the best months.

Visiting Ħamrun and planning your trip

Monolith's offices are at 115 Triq Mile End in Ħamrun, a town beside Valletta. Our Valletta guide describes the capital, and our page on flights to Malta covers how UK visitors arrive. Business hours are 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday, so plan any visit or call within those times.

Producers moving staff to the island for a longer shoot, or UK crews who want to understand the island before they commit, may also find our Malta relocation guide useful, and anyone seeking a base in the north can browse hotels in Sliema. Ħamrun is a busy town beside Valletta, so a day of meetings at the office can easily be combined with time in the capital, whether that is wandering the streets or visiting the gardens and harbour views that make the city so photogenic. Most visitors find that the compact size of the island makes it easy to meet suppliers, visit locations and return to the hotel in a single day.

How to start a project

Use the VisitMalta.co.uk enquiry form on this page to describe your project, whether it is a feature, an advert, a game or a motion graphics job, along with your timing and the services you think you need. We pass your message to the business, and the team can reply to you directly. A helpful brief says what you want to make, where it will be shown, your target dates and whether you need visual effects or only filming support. Clear answers on those points let the team respond with something specific. If you plan a larger production, the Gozo guide shows another striking set of locations within short reach.
