Location Management Expertise
What does a location manager do during production?
The location manager oversees all aspects of your filming locations—from arrival to wrap. This includes supervising crew on site, managing access and parking, coordinating with property owners, monitoring permit compliance, controlling noise and crowd issues, and ensuring the location is restored properly.
Do you handle permits and permissions?
Yes, our location managers coordinate all filming permits across Turkish provinces. We work with the Turkish Film Commission, Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, and the Ministry of Culture for heritage and archaeological sites. Road closures and Bosphorus filming require additional maritime permits.
What about heritage sites and protected locations?
We specialize in managing complex locations including Istanbul's Hagia Sophia area, Cappadocia's Göreme National Park, Ephesus, and Pamukkale. Our managers coordinate with the Ministry of Culture and Tourism for archaeological site permits and navigate the specific restrictions at each protected location.
How do you handle neighbor and community relations?
Our location managers proactively communicate with neighbors before filming, address concerns during production, and ensure positive relationships. This community approach protects your production and maintains good standing for future shoots.
Can you manage multiple locations simultaneously?
Yes, for productions with multiple locations, we provide location management teams coordinating across all sites. Our managers communicate to ensure consistent standards and seamless company moves between locations.
What are typical location fees?
Location fees in Turkey are very competitive, enhanced by the favourable exchange rate. Archaeological site permits are managed through the Ministry of Culture, while urban locations coordinate through municipal film offices. Our managers handle all negotiations in ₺ (TRY).
