Production support for filming in Iran
Iran is a closed country so a patient approach and choosing a well-connected fixer are essential when filming in Iran. There is no clear, streamlined permitting process in place, much of it depending on the relationships a video production company in Iran has created. Unauthorized filming and photography could result in serious criminal charges, including espionage, which carries the death penalty.
Not to worry, though, our video production services take every precaution to file for, obtain and keep permitting close at hand for check-ups. Our production coordinator is well-connected and respected locally and has an international mindset.
Production support & video production services in Iran
From film location scouting to post-production, for your documentary filming and more, we have it all covered in Iran. Our production assistant will be with you at all times, making sure the shootings develop uneventfully and that it achieves your goals.
When filming in Iran with Storytailors as your partner, there are only two things that you need to concern yourself with: foreign debit or credit cards won’t work. You either need to carry cash or use one of the prepaid travel debit cards. YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter are blocked. Install a VPN before getting here, or take a break from your social life.
Film crew for hire & local contributors
Iran has a small pool of directors, directors of photography, and still photographers. It also has some experienced English-speaking key crew. We can put together a tight-knit crew for your filming in Iran.
Research & fact-checking
Stay true to your brand and facts in your corporate video! Choose Storytailors as your video production company in Iran and we will double-check your script, to remove all inaccuracies.
Film permits & local access
Our production support includes obtaining all kinds of film permits in Iran. There are separate permits for ground and aerial filming and specific locations (such as military sites) are not covered by general permits.
Location scouting & management
Our film location manager will choose the ideal setting for your commercial video production from among ancient cities, palaces, mosques, temples, museums, mausoleums, citadels, bazaars, snow-capped mountains, deserts, and coast.
Gear rental
You can find standard and professional equipment in Iran, usually with lower renting prices than in your home country. We collaborate with trusted suppliers to offer deals on the best lens rental.
Logistics handling
Our film production company will plan and design a logistics strategy for you, once a filming location is confirmed. It will be built around the shooting location’s specific accessibility and the project’s demands.

In a country where alcohol is prohibited, the city of Shiraz is famous for being the cradle of Persian civilization and the wine it once produced. It is home to several film locations of note including the Vakil Bazaar, Eram Garden, Mausoleum of Shah-e-Cheragh, Citadel of Karim Khan, Pink Mosque, Shiraz Grand Hotel, and Maharloo Lake. Hafat Khan Restaurant is an interesting location to film and eat in.
