Production service & video production services in Bahrain

Our Manama video production team offers a comprehensive video production service throughout Bahrain. We excel in location scouting and can help you access some of the most historically significant or visually stunning filming spots in the country. We also take care of film permits, which can be challenging if you’re unfamiliar with the administrative processes in this country. Additionally, if you can’t be on-site for whatever reasons, we can provide remote video production services. This involves us handling filming, editing, and delivering footage according to your timeline, ensuring a smooth and problem-free process no matter where in the world you are.

Film crew for hire & local contributors

Teaming with us as your production fixer gives you access to a team of rigorously screened local technical crews and collaborators. Our Bahrain video production team is skilled, reliable, and deeply familiar with the local landscape.

Research & fact-checking

Accuracy and legal compliance are crucial to your video’s success, and we ensure that from day one. Our team of expert researchers and production fixers carefully verifies every detail of your script or background information, ensuring your Bahrain video production meets all standards and is ready to go without issue.

Film permits & local access

We’ll handle all necessary film permits, whether you’re planning a Manama video production or a shoot elsewhere. Most public location permits are free of charge, but there may be costs with private or historically significant sites. However, as your line production company, we’ll quickly secure any authorization needed, relieving you of the challenges of navigating local bureaucracy.

Location scouting & management

Whether you hope to film the futuristic-looking Manama skyline or a more traditional desert village, location scouting in Bahrain offers a range of wonderfully diverse sites. We’ll ensure the locations we secure match the vision of your Bahrain video production. As importantly, we’ll also secure all necessary permits and manage the site from start to finish.

Film equipment rental

Bringing filming equipment into Bahrain can require complex immigration permits. Instead, rely on our trusted connections with reputable rental companies for state-of-the-art, competitively priced gear. We’ll ensure you get what you need—another essential production service we provide as a trusted production fixer helping international video makers with their Bahrain video production.

Logistics handling

If you’re planning multi-location shoots, you’ll require seamless logistics. Our Bahrain video production team can coordinate transport and accommodation for you, the cast, and the crew. As remote video production specialists, we can also capture additional footage in other areas of the country if you need to concentrate fully on the primary location.
