Film Maker Services

Here is how this works in practice. Our team supports filmmakers working in Morocco with the crew, infrastructure and local knowledge a project needs, and supplies filmmakers for shoots that need a complete creative-tech lead. We brief filmmakers on the country's assets: the Ouarzazate crew base skilled in large-scale and desert work, the studios at Atlas, CLA and Kanzaman, and the compact range of terrain that lets a project move from desert to medina to coast efficiently.

Here is the layout. On the ground, Filmmakers we place or support handle the creative and practical direction of a project — shaping the vision, top the crew, and steering the shoot through to delivery. They set up with the CCM-licensed local production-services firm on authorisations and logistics, work with Moroccan crews who are multilingual and deeply skilled, and adapt their way to the genre and scale of the production, whether documentary, commercial, feature or series.

Here is the short of it. Morocco gives filmmakers an unusual combination: a distinguished national cinema and a top-tier service-production infrastructure. Directors such as Nabil Ayouch ('Casablanca Beats') and Maryam Touzani ('The Blue Caftan') have carried Moroccan filmmaking to Cannes. The Oscar shortlist, while six decades of hosting global films — from 'Lawrence of Arabia' to 'Gladiator' and 'Game of Thrones' — have built crews and studios used to ambitious work. The ISMAC in Rabat trains filmmakers. The Marrakech Global Film Festival and the National Film Festival in Tangier anchor the calendar. All filmmaking runs within the CCM framework. This issues authorisations and runs the industry. The filmmakers we place and support set up with CCM-licensed partners and provincial authorities across.
