ABOUT US

Ani Thing Costume Co. is dedicated to providing comprehensive wardrobe services to both local and international motion picture and television productions in the Dominican Republic. Our aim is to support the growth of the country's film industry through training local crew in International wardrobe standards and providing goods and services capable of supporting multiple projects simultaneously. 

As the founder of Ani Thing Costume Co., I, Nicole Franklin, recognized the growing film industry here in the Dominican Republic upon moving from Toronto, Canada. Due to my background as a Wardrobe Buyer and Stylist, I had an inner desire to find out for myself just what was available within the country.  I was introduced to a local designer who showed me what existed domestically in the world of wardrobe.  My observation was that there is much that could be done to better support the wardrobe departments of the country’s film and television sectors, as well as the international productions being filmed here.  It is through my desire to support the film and television wardrobe industry that Ani Thing Costume Co. was formed.

Our vision at Ani Thing Costume Co. is to create a full-service costume company integrating four aspects of Costume Creation:

  1. Education Department: Offering daily classes to all ages in our local studio space as well as adult learning events and special international guest workshops throughout the year.  

  2. Fitting Department: Providing fitting space  for tv, film and commercials. Private and professional in Piantini with fitting room, black white and chroma green backdrops for photos, sewing machines and staff for on the spot alterations. Sitting area and smart screen for costume presentations and meetings.  

  3. Retail Department: Featuring on and off-set wardrobe essentials with items and brands trusted by international crews.
