Production Assistants

Here is how this works in practice. Our team supplies production assistants who keep Moroccan shoots running by handling the wide range of practical tasks each production depends on. We brief PAs on the working environment: long days in desert heat, remote locations, large crowd units, and the multilingual crews that Moroccan shoots assemble. Production assistants we place support the production office and the set. Locations have distributing forms and call sheets, helping departments, helping set up transport and crew. It runs errands, and supporting the assistant directors and coordinators.

On the ground, They are trusted, adaptable and quick to learn the rhythm of a shoot. Many are fluent in Arabic, French and English. This makes them valuable links between global crews and local suppliers, communities and extras. They plan for the climate and the distances that Moroccan shoots involve. They take direction well across departments.

Here is the short of it. Production assistants are often where Moroccan film careers start. The country's six decades of global shoots have created a steady pathway for new crew to gain experience on large-scale shoots. The Ouarzazate base, the studios at Atlas, CLA and Kanzaman, and a domestic cinema that competes worldwide all sustain demand for capable support crew, and the ISMAC in Rabat trains film pros.

Here is the layout. On the ground, all production runs within the CCM framework: foreign shoots obtain CCM authorisation and partner with a CCM-licensed local production-services firm, with permits flowing through provincial authorities. The production assistants we place work within that structure, supporting the coordinators and assistant directors who manage the shoot's compliance and logistics.
