Our Expert Location Services

Location Scouting

Our seasoned scouts possess an unparalleled understanding of India's diverse geography and cultural nuances. We go beyond surface-level searches to find unique, inspiring locations that precisely match your script's requirements and mood. We provide detailed reports, high-quality photographic and video documentation, logistical assessments, and feasibility studies for each potential site.

Location Management

From load-in to wrap, our dedicated location managers oversee all on-site operations. This includes managing access, coordinating crew and equipment movement, ensuring site cleanliness and restoration, handling unexpected issues, and serving as the primary liaison between the production and the location, local authorities, and surrounding community.

Filming Permit Assistance

Navigating India's bureaucratic landscape for filming permits can be challenging. We specialize in securing the necessary permissions from various government bodies, municipal corporations, railway authorities, archaeological surveys, police departments, and private entities efficiently and reliably, ensuring your production stays compliant and on schedule.

Property Liaison

Building positive relationships with property owners, local residents, and community leaders is crucial. We handle all communication, negotiations, and agreements, ensuring clear terms, addressing concerns, and fostering goodwill to facilitate a smooth and respectful filming process that benefits all parties involved.

Production Logistics Support

Beyond the location itself, we assist with essential logistical support like coordinating transportation for crew and equipment, arranging accommodation, managing catering needs, and helping source local crew and suppliers. Our goal is to provide comprehensive support so your production team can focus solely on the creative aspects of filming.

Site Preparation & Coordination

We ensure chosen locations are production-ready, assisting with necessary site clearing, set dressing coordination, power setup, and safety measures.
