Hard-access locations

Where others hesitate,
we are already there.

In Gaza, Palestine, Syria, Libya, Sudan and Somalia, broadcasters and documentary makers need more than a camera operator. They need someone who knows the roads, the people and the permits, and who can tell when to film and when to wait. Our crews there are local.

  • Security assessment before every shoot day
  • Coordination with local authorities
  • Backup plans for transport and file delivery

Specialist crews.
Every role in the right hands.

We never send one person to do everything. Each crew is built for the project from specialists in every location.

They design the image: light, framing and camera movement, in service of the film's style.

02

Camera Operators

Field and documentary operators who know how to catch the moment without breaking it.

03

They swing the boom, rig radio mics and monitor sound take by take.

Questions.
Before you book.

How much notice do you need?

It depends on the location and permits. In most cities a crew can be arranged within a few days; hard-access locations need more time to coordinate.

Do I deal with each crew separately?

No. You deal with one contact and one invoice, even when a project films in several countries.

What format do you deliver in?

Whatever you specify: resolution, frame rate and codec. Files go out by cloud link, with hard-drive handover when needed.

Do you provide fixers for journalists?

Yes. You can book a local fixer alone if your own crew is travelling, or together with a local camera crew. They arrange permits, contributors, transport and interpreting.

Do your crews speak English?

Yes. We assign crews who speak Arabic, English or the local language, depending on the project.

What are your day rates?

Rates depend on the location, crew size, equipment and shoot length. Send us the details and we will reply with a clear quote.

Do you film outside these locations?

Our network keeps growing. Send us the location and we will tell you if we have a crew nearby.
