Call Sheets & Shooting Schedules

Here is how this works in practice. We build call sheets that reflect the realities of shooting in Morocco rather than generic templates. Our team sets up with the CCM-licensed production-services firm managing your shoot. With first assistant directors and with department heads to confirm crew calls, transport from Ouarzazate or Marrakech bases, and the early starts that desert heat demands. Summer days at Erg Chebbi or near Aït Benhaddou often exceed 40°C, so we schedule the heaviest work into morning and late-afternoon light and flag midday breaks, water stations and shaded holding for Berber extras, horses and camels.

Here is how the picture comes together. On the ground, Call sheets are distributed in Arabic, French and English so each crew member, driver and local supplier reads instructions in a working language. We track prayer-time considerations, Friday couscous lunches and provincial wilaya curfews where they affect the schedule, and we publish revised sheets the moment locations, weather or talent openings shift, with read-receipt confirmation across the unit.

Here is the short of it. Morocco's production hubs have run daily forms for some of cinema's largest historical epics. That experience shapes how call sheets are structured here. The Ouarzazate crew base set up the vast unit movements of 'Gladiator', 'Kingdom of Heaven' and HBO's 'Game of Thrones' at Aït Benhaddou, where hundreds of extras, livestock and stunt teams had to reach remote sets on time.

Here is what we have to work with. On the ground, A clear call sheet is the document that makes those logistics work: it ties together the CCM sign-off conditions, the location agreements held with local authorities, and the precise geography of a country that puts the Atlas Mountains, the Atlantic coast and the dunes within a single production. We carry that discipline into each project, large or small, so a commercial in Casablanca and a feature in the Sahara both run on accurate, timely info.
