Why Hire Atmosphera Productions for Your Portuguese Production

We all know the job of making a film is rarely a simple thing. Even a production like a small fashion shoot will require more than just models and a photographer. At the very least, the project will require locations, transportation, catering, and a small team to help things go smoothly. When a project is taking place away from your home turf (or your home country) that’s where Atmosphera Productions comes in. From start to finish we are your local producer who helps plan, execute and create.

We Are Local

Some film fixers advertise their services in areas like Portugal and Spain, but they’re actually located somewhere else. Their website seems hyper-focused on the Iberian Peninsula, but a closer look reveals that the website is just a clone. They have multiple, similar-looking websites for multiple locations across the globe. Many times the person you will work with from these multi-site companies are people hired from a distance by the company.

By contrast, our team is located right here where we work and live. We have an intimate knowledge of locations, partners, logistic agencies, and the official processes and gateways that need to be traversed in order to get things done. We have strong, tested partnerships with the local service providers who are necessary for a smooth outcome. This helps us get things done quickly and with minimal challenges. And because you work with the people you hire with Atmosphera Productions, nothing is lost in communications between handlers in different countries.

We Are Also National and International Filmmakers

Our team is comprised from around the globe including right here in Portugal, and we bring that global experience to everything we do. Whether from backgrounds in corporate and commercial shoots in NYC, documentaries in Asia and Africa, or feature films in the EU the combination of our experiences is our strength. We see and understand the process of filmmaking through a filmmaker’s lens.

We Do It All

We are a diverse group of filmmakers in that we are directors, cinematographers, HMU, wardrobe, set designers, prop pros, location managers, ADs, talent managers, etc. We have run our own productions. We present an entire package to assist you with your project from start to finish. We understand the importance of staying on budget, staying safe, things running smoothly and staying on time. We approach your project just like we do our own - with the knowledge that every shot and detail is important.

We Know the Importance of Good Communication

Things on a film set move quickly. But things can move just as fast during the pre-production phase. And when things move fast, a lot needs to be communicated quickly. We know this is key in making sure a project stays on time and on budget. We are available by phone, email or What’sApp, and we answer your messages and return your calls as quickly as possible. We understand there may be some anxiety about trusting a local producer to keep things going when you’re miles away. That’s another reason it’s important to us to remain as available as possible to let you know you have a reliable partner on the ground.

We Expect the Unexpected

Filmmaking is a series of challenges, knowns and unknowns, and successes. There is no way to completely plan for everything, so we make plans within plans. We consider things like What can go wrong? How do we fix it before it happens? What is the backup plan for the backup plan?

Sure, unexpected things will still come up, but as the saying goes “chance favors the prepared.” We prefer to have contingencies for as much as possible so you don’t have to worry.
