What we put on the ground

Six disciplines, one unit base. You bring the vision and the crew — we handle everything that has to be waiting when the trucks arrive.

01

Locations

Finding the frame is the easy part. Getting a crew, a generator and four trucks legally parked in it is the job.

Recce planning, transport and crew accommodation
Saudi Film Commission permit submissions and tracking
Regional, municipal and heritage-site approvals

Production vehicles staged at a location unit base

Colour-accurate 3200K / 5600K mirror lighting
Oversized climate control for standing desert heat
Onboard water, waste and hot water
