Introduction of production service in Spain

We put everything at your disposal to realise your commercials, feature films, series, music videos or photography productions. In short, we are video and photography producers, who carry out the work for you. We shoot at the locations that suit your shoot best.
One of our main goals is to make things easy for you and not to worry about anything from the moment you come and just focus on your production and the crew you came with and leave the rest to us.
We are very used of getting involved from early pre-production, developing or funding stage due to our Production experience which difference a bit from the regular service production. As we see it – A strong advantage difference us from our service production companies.
Why have we chosen to do production service in Spain?
Spain is a country with a wide range of landscapes. The variety of locations reminds of several other parts of the world found in Spain.

It offers as well of the world’s most attractive tax incentives for Film and Series Production.
Our Locations and Studios
What type of location do you need? Spain is extremely rich in historical architecture and varied urban landscapes. If you are looking for seascapes, in Spain you can find everything from the Mediterranean to Caribbean beaches. White sandy beautiful beaches to black lava beaches or as rocky beaches. We have mystical and magic forest to pine woods and much more. These green forests which are typical to find in northern as southern Europe, and in south American, India or even Australia. To be more exact; From our green meadow landscapes that you can find in the north of Spain, to our Sahara like deserts found in Andalucía and Gran Canarias as well a part of the beach in the Balearic Islands has some dunes.
Our production service in Spain also offers a wide selection of studios from small to large studios in Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Malaga, Palma de Mallorca and more. From small to large and from simple to modern, in which to build your set. We also have outdoor space to build your sets. Close to actual locations, studios or hangars. We also highlight the fact that in Spain, you will be able to find different locations which takes you to different places in the world just in one country. This saves you money and time, makes things faster, quicker than travelling around the globe. We can reach our locations, fields, forests, beaches or modern to urban cities and even medieval villages in less than an hour from our base camp.

In addition to all advantages explained above the good weather is one of the main keys when deciding where you are traveling to shoot. The temperature and hours of sunshine throughout the year make it possible to shoot Spring, summer, autumn and winter. In Valencia you have most sun hours in Spain and in the rest of the country we you can film your summer campaigns during winter and spring. The fields and nature are green and beautiful during this time a year and some other parts offer this all year around while other places have a more desert like nature as well all year around.
