Line Producer
– Because good production service is about much more than execution — it’s about reducing risk. We know how things work on the ground: the best local crews and suppliers, realistic costs, locations, permits, regulations and timelines. That allows us to anticipate problems before they happen, negotiate the right deals and protect your budget. Ultimately, you save time, avoid unnecessary surprises and have a trusted local partner making sure everything runs smoothly.
– Of course. Our flexible structure allows us to scale around each production, from small, agile shoots to large international campaigns and multi-day productions. Whatever the size, every project gets the same level of attention and care.
– Although we’re based in Barcelona, we work throughout Spain. Our nationwide network allows us to source local crews, equipment, suppliers and locations wherever the project takes us. We also understand the different permitting requirements and production realities across Spain’s regions.
– The sooner, the better — especially for shoots involving public locations, road closures, drones, international talent, minors or multiple authorities. As a general rule, we recommend allowing at least 15 working days for complex public-space permits, although simpler permits can sometimes be processed within 24 hours.
– Absolutely. Some production companies need us as a full-service partner, while others simply need a reliable local team to handle permits, crew, locations and logistics. We can work directly with the agency or client when needed, or stay completely behind the scenes — whatever works best for your production.
– Spain's geographical diversity is one of its biggest production advantages. Within just a few hours, you can move between Mediterranean coastline, alpine landscapes, deserts, forests, historic cities and modern architecture. Our network of experienced location scouts helps us find the right backdrop for each brief while keeping logistics and permits in mind from the start.
– Sustainability is built into the way we produce. We prioritise local suppliers, low-emission transport, responsible waste management, reusable materials and catering partners committed to reducing waste.
– We can do both. Bring your director, DoP, producer or any other key crew members and we'll build the right local team around them — or let us crew the entire production locally. We work with a trusted network of experienced advertising professionals across Spain and match each crew to the specific needs of the project.
– Yes. We work with experienced drone operators registered with AESA (the Spanish Aviation Safety and Security Agency) who understand local airspace restrictions and can handle the necessary permits and authorisations. Depending on the location and flight requirements, we can organise drone operations in urban, rural and natural environments. Please contact us for further information.
– Yes. As a Spanish production company, we can handle local payroll for crew and cast, including employment contracts, Social Security registration and all relevant health and safety requirements. We can also manage talent usage rights and related invoicing.
– We take the safety and legal cover of all our productions very seriously. We carry comprehensive third-party liability insurance for our shoots in Spain and conduct the required health and safety risk assessments. We also manage crew registration, permits and any additional insurance or contracts required for each production.
– Yes, if you need us to. Some production companies work with us through wrap, while others rely on us all the way through post-production and final delivery. Since we handle the entire process on our own commercial productions, we're equally comfortable managing what happens before, during and after the shoot. We work with a trusted network of editors, color graders, sound designers, VFX artists and post-production facilities across Spain.
