-
Equipment Rental
We tap personal relationships with Portugal’s leading rental houses to source and secure the right gear for your production. We’ll work with your producers and DoP to match camera bodies, lenses, supports, lighting, and grip to your creative and technical needs, then coordinate availability and logistics on the ground. This keeps your team focused on what’s in front of the lens, while we handle what’s behind it. -
Location Scouting
We draw on deep, on-the-ground knowledge of Portugal to find locations that match your visual brief and production realities. From desert-like landscapes to snow-capped mountains, Atlantic coastline to historic towns and modern cities, we shortlist options that fit your story and schedule. We’ll work to understand your needs for space, light, access, and proximity to other locations, then share references, virtual tours, and schematics as needed. Learn more on our dedicated location services page. -
Production Concierge
We know the people you need to know. As your on-the-ground concierge and liaison within Portugal’s film scene, we connect you with trusted partners for production spaces, talent services, and specialist vendors. We also help you navigate permits, licenses, and local processes, so your team can move quickly without getting bogged down in paperwork. -
Transportation & logistics
We plan how your production moves—from airport arrivals to company moves and everything in between. We’ll work closely with your team to understand schedule, budget, locations, and crew size, then arrange the right mix of vehicles, drivers, and local transport partners. Our goal is simple: keep people and gear where they need to be, on time and without friction. -
Accommodations
We prioritize the comfort, convenience, and safety of your crew when arranging places to stay. Based on your production size, schedule, and budget, we connect you with suitable hotels, BnBs, and other vetted accommodation options close to your key locations. Our aim is to keep your team rested and nearby, so days on set run more smoothly. -
Translation Services
English is widely spoken in production hubs like Lisbon and Porto, but smaller towns, local authorities, and some vendors will often expect Portuguese. Our translation support covers paperwork, contracts, payments, meetings, and on-set introductions, helping you avoid misunderstandings and keep conversations moving. We’re there to bridge language and cultural nuance so the production can stay focused on the work.
