Location Managers
Professional on-set location management keeping your Saudi locations running smoothly from Riyadh, Jeddah, AlUla.

We connect you with location managers who know Saudi Arabia's emerging but extraordinary filming landscape. Our network includes professionals experienced in managing shoots from Riyadh's modern skyline to AlUla's ancient Nabataean tombs, NEOM's cutting-edge facilities, and Jeddah's historic Al Balad — providing the local expertise essential for the Kingdom's 40% cash rebate productions.

Location Management Expertise
What does a location manager do during production?
The location manager oversees all aspects of your filming locations—from arrival to wrap. This includes supervising crew on site, managing access and parking, coordinating with property owners, monitoring permit compliance, controlling noise and crowd issues, and ensuring the location is restored properly.
Do you handle permits and permissions?
Yes, our location managers coordinate all filming permits through the Saudi Film Commission and GCAM. Multi-agency approvals (Ministry of Media, municipality, security) are standard and we manage the entire process. Heritage locations like AlUla coordinate through the Royal Commission.
What about heritage sites and protected locations?
We specialize in managing complex locations including Hegra in AlUla (coordinated through RCU), Diriyah's At-Turaif District (DGDA permits), and Jeddah's Al Balad historic quarter. Our managers navigate GCAM final approval requirements for all heritage sites.
How do you handle neighbor and community relations?
Our location managers proactively communicate with neighbors before filming, address concerns during production, and ensure positive relationships. This community approach protects your production and maintains good standing for future shoots.
Can you manage multiple locations simultaneously?
Yes, for productions with multiple locations, we provide location management teams coordinating across all sites. Our managers communicate to ensure consistent standards and seamless company moves between locations.
What are typical location fees?
Location fees in Saudi Arabia are part of the Kingdom's competitive 40% cash rebate framework. Heritage and government locations are coordinated through film commission channels, while commercial properties negotiate individually. Our managers handle all financial coordination.
