Casting & extras

Local casting, extras, hand models, voice talent and presenters across every major Moroccan city — pre-screened and ready for camera.

Briefed-in research on craftspeople, public figures, witnesses and contributors, so the people in front of your lens are the right ones from take one.

Equipment rental, importation & drones

Why crews come back

Benefits of working with a Morocco fixer

Producers don't shoot in Morocco for the perks — they shoot here because the country quietly solves problems that other locations can't. Below are the five reasons international productions keep coming back, and the five reasons we'd recommend a fixer-led approach over a fly-blind one.

01

Hollywood-grade scenery, indie-friendly economics

Morocco has hosted everything from Lawrence of Arabia and Gladiator to Mission: Impossible, Game of Thrones and dozens of Netflix originals — and the production maths still work for indie features, branded films and prestige documentaries. Crew rates, equipment hire, transport and per diems stay a fraction of European or US benchmarks, while what lands on camera is the same widescreen Sahara, the same kasbahs and the same Atlantic coastlines that show up in the trailers.

02

A direct line to local crew, producers and talent

Our fixers have spent two decades building first-name relationships with Moroccan DPs, ADs, gaffers, key grips, sound recordists, casting agents and stunt coordinators. We negotiate day rates, weekly buyouts and overtime caps on your behalf, ring-fence the same crew across multiple shoot blocks for series work, and hand you one consolidated invoice at the end.

03

World-class soundstages when the weather turns

Morocco is famous for its exteriors — but exteriors can fail you. When the brief calls for controlled lighting, green-screen, period interiors or complex stunt work, we plug you straight into the soundstages of Ouarzazate (Atlas Corporation Studios, CLA Studios) where the same construction and SFX crews who build sets for HBO and Netflix work week in, week out.

04

One country, every landscape — logistics already solved

Morocco runs from the Atlantic surf of Taghazout to the snow of the High Atlas, the dunes of Merzouga, the cedar forests of Ifrane and the medinas of Fez — sometimes inside a single shoot week. We pre-book 4x4s, sprinter vans, fuel runs, fixer drivers and equipment trucks so your talent can wrap a Casablanca beach scene on Monday and shoot snow plates in the Atlas on Thursday without losing a single day.

05

Film-friendly accommodation, not just luxury hotels

A five-star resort and a film-friendly hotel are not the same thing. We book lodgings that accept early check-ins, late departures, kit storage, base-camp parking, generator runs and the small army of crew, drivers, talent and extras every production drags with it — and we negotiate the group rates accordingly.

A storied set

Morocco — Kingdom of light

A country of culture, civilisation and rare authenticity, Morocco does not just attract travellers — it draws an unbroken stream of international productions in love with its landscapes and its famously soft, golden ambient light. Series, features and TV programmes shoot here year-round.

Our fixer team brings the local relationships that unlock doors and the international working standards that keep your shoot on schedule and inside the budget you signed off on.

We take care of everything that sits between an idea and the first take: filming permits, paperwork, equipment hire, ATA-carnet customs clearance, transport, hotels, casting and local crew — so your team lands, shoots and wraps without operational friction.

Movies & TV Shows shot in Morocco & across the kingdom

Morocco doubles for half the planet on screen — the Sahel, ancient Rome, Mombasa, Yemen, the Holy Land and Westeros itself. Two flagship productions, one in features, one in long-form drama, sketch the spectrum our fixer team works to.

Erfoud & Merzouga · Moroccan Sahara

Keanu Reeves and Halle Berry crossed the dunes of southern Morocco for the franchise's most ambitious sequence. Local crew, 4x4 logistics and animal-handling were coordinated on the ground in Erfoud — a textbook brief for a Morocco fixer team.

HBO's record-breaking saga shot Daenerys's free-cities arc on the seaside ramparts of Essaouira and the kasbah of Aït Benhaddou. The crews used the same Moroccan grip, lighting and stunt teams we mobilise for incoming series work.

Studios from HBO, Lionsgate, Netflix, Paramount and Disney have all closed sets in Morocco — and they keep coming back. Our fixers have worked alongside those crews and know exactly which permits, locations, drivers and local heads of department to mobilise on day one.

On screen — productions filmed in Morocco

You will not be the first international production to fly into Morocco. Vibrant, colour-saturated and wildly varied, the country has stood in for everything from imperial Rome to the streets of Mombasa, and our location managers can point you to the lesser-known corners that haven't been on screen yet.

A convincing stand-in for half the world

Morocco's European, African, Arab, Jewish and Berber heritage gives it a visual vocabulary that doubles cleanly for Rome, Mombasa, Yemen, ancient Greece, the Holy Land and most of the Sahel. Inception's Mombasa was Tangier; Game of Thrones' Astapor and Yunkai were Essaouira and Aït Benhaddou. The pay-off for producers: a single permit window, one fixer team, one currency — instead of three or four cross-border shoots stitched together in post.

A mature, working film industry

Land in Morocco and the reason it has become a beloved production base is obvious from day one. Multiple studios — Atlas Corporation Studios and CLA Studios in Ouarzazate among them — operate full-time, a deep bench of local DPs, ADs, gaffers and sound crews is on standby, and the CCM permit process is one of the fastest in the region. Few countries pair this much landscape variety with this much industrial readiness.
