Hai there!

HaiDOC Productions is much more than a documentary film production house. We are a team of Moldovan storytellers who not only create and dream but live through film. Our approach is to delve into unique and impactful social themes through ethnographic exploration, dedicating substantial time, attention, and involvement to allow each story to unfold naturally.


Our projects are designed to live up to the name HaiDOC – a play on words (‘Hai!’ meaning ‘come on, let’s go, let’s do it’ in Romanian, plus ‘DOCumentaries’) reminiscent of the legendary ‘haiduc’, the local robin-hood type – symbolizing our mission to capture valuable stories from those rich (in experiences, memories, creativity, wisdom, and uniqueness) and share them with those craving genuine emotions captured on film.

OUR FILMS HIGHLIGHT THE UNSEEN HEROES OF THE SOCIETY

Our documentaries come to life by living with the main characters – their lives, intimacy and atmosphere being essential to be able to reproduce in the most natural way the depth of the subject. Caring for characters is one of our core values, so we make films that highlight people who are less represented in society, less seen or heard, but who manage to evoke sincere emotions and empathy among viewers.

Our film productions are on their way to cinemas

While you wait, support local films!

WE ARE PROUD OF OUR PARTNERS

Among the collaborations that make us proud are the projects with non-governmental organizations from the Republic of Moldova, which are active in fields such as the empowerment of women, sexual abuse of children and the empowerment of people with psychoneurological disabilities.
“I’m so impressed with our cooperation with HaiDOC Productions! It has yielded a film that has it all: tension, obstacles, conflicts, but also cleanliness, candor, simplicity and human warmth.”

“There are no words to thank Ion again and again for his presence and generosity during FIFF! After our collaboration I have some great images – memories of those unforgettable moments spent together. A page full of emotion and friendship is turned, but it is only the beginning of a book which, I hope, will bring us together for a long time and on many occasions.”

“When I think of our constant collaborations with the HaiDOC Productions team, I think of the attentive and professional way in which they helped us as an association to explore the urban problems faced by Chisinau inhabitants using the language of the documentary. The HaiDOC Productions team helped us to translate into visual language and rediscover the city as it is: green and dynamic at times, grey and gloomy at others.

“Every collaboration with the HaiDOC Productions team – a team that inserts the documentary film dimension into every product we’ve had the opportunity to work on together – is a constant testament to both talent and pragmatic vision. With every product they made, the HaiDOC Productions team has been an eye-opener and a profound inspiration. The team’s creativity and passion for visual storytelling has turned each project into an unforgettable experience, delivering us authentic video products that will endure for years to come as a testament to the impact of the projects we have implemented at CPR Moldova.”

“After the shoot in Moldova and the experience we had with Ion and HaiDOC Productions – they are regarded as a team who is capable of anything and everything!”

“The beauty and value of working with the HaiDOC Productions team is that, from the very first interaction, I noticed that these people make documentaries because they want to, not because they have to, showing a lot of openness and pleasure to work. The flexibility and understanding with which they treated us is in perfect harmony with the professionalism and impeccable quality of the audiovisual products delivered. I wish them many more inspiring projects, but also loyal clients and partners!”
