Location Agreements

Here is the breakdown. We negotiate and manage location agreements for shoots filming in Turkey, securing the written permissions that give a shoot legal, logged access to each site. Our team identifies the correct rights holder — a private owner, a city, a venue operator or a site admin — negotiates fees, dates, access hours and conditions, and prepares agreements that are valid under Turkish law and clear on liability, reinstatement and indemnity. We set up location agreements with the official filming permits, since access to many Turkish sites depends on both a private contract and an authority approval, and we keep the signed forms ordered so production and insurers can see each location is well cleared.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Location agreements in Turkey often sit alongside a permit layer. Filming at covered and iconic sites — museums, the Bosphorus waterfront, archaeological zones such as Ephesus and Troy, and the Historic Areas of Istanbul — is signed off through the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, while private estates, hotels and firms need their own contracts. UNESCO-listed locations including Göreme and the Rock Sites of Cappadocia and Hierapolis-Pamukkale carry specific access conditions. Global shoots including Skyfall, Argo and Taken 2 secured access to central Istanbul's most recognisable settings through exactly this combination of agreement and permit, and we manage both strands so a production's access is fully logged and dependable.
