Location Managers
Professional on-set location management keeping your Moroccan locations running smoothly from Ouarzazate, Marrakech, Casablanca.
Location management in Morocco requires professionals who navigate the CCM-centred permit system — from production authorization through Centre Cinématographique Marocain to municipal filming permits and heritage site approvals. Our location managers leverage CCM's facilitation role to streamline customs, immigration, and location access for your production.
We connect you with location managers who know Morocco's legendary filming landscape. Our network includes professionals experienced in managing shoots from Ouarzazate's Atlas Studios to Marrakech's vibrant medina, Fez's ancient alleyways, and the vast Sahara Desert — providing the expertise behind productions like Gladiator, Game of Thrones, and Kingdom of Heaven.

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 CCM and municipal authorities. CCM authorization is central — it facilitates not just location access but also customs clearance and crew immigration. We handle all documentation in French and Arabic.
What about heritage sites and protected locations?
We specialize in managing complex locations including the medinas of Fez and Marrakech, Aït-Ben-Haddou, and historic Meknes. Our managers coordinate with Direction du Patrimoine Culturel and navigate the specific requirements for filming in active medina environments.
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 Morocco are competitive. CCM facilitates production permits, while Atlas Studios in Ouarzazate offer structured studio rates. Public and heritage location fees are negotiated through municipal and CCM channels. Our managers handle negotiations in MAD.
