Film Production Services in Colombia

Shooting in Colombia without a local partner means managing crew, gear, permits, and logistics from a different time zone, through people you’ve never worked with. ProducciónAparte works as your production arm on the ground: English-speaking, embedded in your workflow, and set up to make a visiting director or producer’s job easier, not harder.

What's Included

Local crew: camera, lighting, sound, grip and electric, PAs, translators.
Equipment packages, from run-and-gun to full cinema setups.
Location scouting and permits, including government and private locations.
Line production and budgeting in USD or local currency.
Casting and talent booking.
Logistics: transport, accommodation, catering, and customs support for gear carnets

A Real Case: Verri Media UK, Nobel Laureate Visit Coverage for AstraZeneca

Verri Media UK brought in ProducciónAparte to cover a Nobel laureate’s visit to Colombia as part of an AstraZeneca activation. The local team, more than 100 people across production and logistics, integrated directly into Verri Media’s creative team, handling locations, permits, and on-the-ground coordination while creative direction stayed with the client. Saffron Allwood, Founder & Executive Producer at Verri Media UK, described the team as “the sweet spot” between finding people they could trust and getting the quality they needed.

When It Makes Sense

When your creative team is already set, whether that’s an agency, a brand, or a production company, and what you need is a reliable production partner in Colombia: crew, gear, locations, and logistics, without building that team from scratch every time you have a project in the country.

Investment

Cost depends on crew size, shoot days, and equipment required. As a reference, a full production day with local crew (camera, lighting, sound, production management) starts at USD 2,500. Larger-scale projects, such as event coverage or multi-day shoots, are quoted by scope.

FAQ

Can you work as crew/equipment only, without creative direction?

Yes. Many international agencies and production companies bring their own director and creative team, and we handle everything on the production side, on the ground.

Do you handle permits and insurance?

Yes, including government and private locations, and carnet coordination if the gear is traveling in from abroad.

How long does it take to set up a shoot?

It depends on complexity, but for standard productions we can have everything ready within 1 to 2 weeks of the brief.

Do you work with production companies or agencies that already have their own creative team?

Yes, that’s a core part of what we do. We act as your production arm in Colombia.
