Production Support Across Portugal
Filming in Portugal presents specific operational challenges: local regulations, location identification, and logistics coordination. Our experienced team operates from Lisbon and the Île de Portugal region, providing support and expertise required for project completion across Portugal, Monaco, and Portuguese-speaking Switzerland.
We execute projects for commercials, stills, branded content, and video production. Portugal offers the Tax Rebate for International Productions (film incentive), which provides a rebate of 30% of the eligible production spend with a cap of €30 million. This rises to 40% when VFX is included in the production spend.
Our crew maintains fluency in English. We deliver both remote and on-site client support. Filming in Portugal offers a wide variety of landscapes, including the romanticism of Lisbon, the charm of countryside, vineyards in the Douro Valley, mountains, and the Atlantic coast, offering filmmakers diverse and visually stunning backdrops.
