Location Management Services

Here is the breakdown. We give location running for shoots filming in Turkey, taking responsibility for each site from preparation through to wrap. Our team handles access and security, parking and base-camp layout, crew facilities, public and pedestrian running, and the relationship with site owners, neighbours and local authorities. We schedule the practical use of a location around permit conditions, prep and strike times, and the realities of weather and daylight, and we make sure each site is left in the condition agreed so the production protects its reputation and its location relationships. We work bilingually, setting up Turkish security, traffic marshals and local liaison so a tricky location runs smoothly.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Turkey's locations demand skilled running. Central Istanbul sites — the Grand Bazaar, where Skyfall staged its rooftop chase, Eminönü, Sultanahmet and the Bosphorus waterfront — combine dense crowds, traffic and covered status. Cappadocia's balloon-launch fields and cave settings, Pamukkale's fragile travertine terraces and the archaeological zone of Ephesus each need careful, low-impact handling. UNESCO listing across the Historic Areas of Istanbul, Göreme and Hierapolis-Pamukkale means reinstatement and conservation conditions are taken seriously. We set up with the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and site administrations, drawing on the operational discipline of the country's high-volume 'dizi' industry, to manage even the most demanding Turkish location professionally.
