)
The Nashville-based production and post company confirms new partnerships across Canada, Eastern Europe, India, Latin America and South Africa.
An expanded global network of production partners now gives Bella the ability to offer overseas filming capabilities to its brand and agency clients.
Launched in 2023 after operating for many years under the umbrella of Fivestone Studios, Bella has delivered commercials and branded content for a wide range of brands and agencies. The company’s roster includes directors, photographers, editors and post specialists working across story-led campaigns.
“Starting last year, for various reasons, many of our clients started asking us what it would look like to shoot overseas,” said Executive Producer David Perry. “In our coveted role as production problem-solvers, we leapt into action to shape-up solid, long-lasting solutions. As a result, we have now vetted production partners spanning Canada, Eastern Europe, India, Latin America and South Africa, all of which are trusted by our directors to execute their visions. As these capabilities expand, we are eagerly looking forward to putting them to great use.”

Bella’s confirmed international partners include Radke in Canada; Bas Production, Moloko Film and Porta Bonanza in Eastern Europe; Scooter in India; Habitant Productions in Mexico and Colombia; and Star Film Company in South Africa.
Earlier this year Bella worked with Scooter on a five-day shoot in India, commissioned by Boeing through FCB Chicago. The project received strong feedback from both brand and agency.
“Our partnership with Bella on Boeing’s India shoot was seamless and inspiring, blending international vision with local expertise,” said Richaa Agarwal, Founder of Scooter. “At Scooter, we’re committed to hosting world-class productions in India while showcasing Indian talent on the global stage. We’re delighted to have found like-minded partners in Bella who share this vision.”
Perry added: “We will continue to shoot in the best locations to serve our clients’ needs, wherever that takes us. With overseas locations, we are seeing how various choices can help elevate storytelling and facilitate unforgettable experiences, while also reducing costs and benefiting the deliverables.”
