We are registered at ANCINE therefore we have the appropriate legal license to process foreign film permits throughout the Brazilian territory issued by ANCINE, as well as any specific filming permissions when required all over Brazil.
We assist and help foreign crews obtaining visas at any Brazilian consulate around the world. Brazil is no longer member of international ATA carnet system. But this is not a problem as we also coordinate fast custom clearance of film equipment at Brazilian customs.
We hire local film crews. We negotiate the best production deals through a responsible management seeking to find right agreements in accordance with specific foreign production budgets. We prepare the local budget and make advance payments when urgent local needs are required.
We articulate contacts with governmental and non-governmental institutions.
We organize transportations and accommodations. We rent local film and video equipment such as cameras, lenses, lighting gear, grips, props, artworks, wardrobe. In fact everything needed to film in Brazil. In summary we resolve all issues and the logistics involved in any film production with responsibility and experience acquired through decades working only and mainly for international film / TV productions made in Brazil.
“Brazil a fascinating enigma of abundant biodiversity.
A mosaic of peoples and cultures intertwined in a mysterious country within its extravagant superlative dimension"
