Crew Hiring Services

Here is how this works in practice. We hire local crew for shoots across Morocco, from full-service feature units to lean commercial and documentary teams. Our team places heads of department, technicians and support crew drawn from the set up pools in Casablanca, Marrakech and above all Ouarzazate, and confirms deal memos, rates in dirham and the work records that sits alongside the Centre Cinématographique Marocain sign-off that each foreign shoot needs. Moroccan crew mostly work in Arabic, French and English, which keeps a global shoot running smoothly.

Here is the breakdown. On the ground, we staff for the country's specific demands, set construction and dressing for large period builds, desert logistics, and the handling of horses, camels and Berber extras, and we brief crew on heat scheduling and provincial wilaya needs. Hiring is set up with the CCM-licensed production-services firm that legally fronts the shoot so contracts, payroll and on-set structure are all aligned.

Here is the short of it. The depth of Morocco's crew base is the country's strongest production asset. The Ouarzazate hub, home to Atlas Studios and CLA Studios, has built and serviced sets for 'Lawrence of Arabia', 'Gladiator', 'Kingdom of Heaven', 'Kundun', 'Babel', 'Spectre' and HBO's 'Game of Thrones', producing technicians, riggers, construction crews and assistant directors who have run large-scale historical and desert shoots for decades.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. On the ground, That experience means a foreign production hires tested pros rather than training a team, and the same crew can scale from a contained studio shoot to a hundreds-strong unit in the Sahara. We match crew to the project so shoots get the right level of experience for the budget. With the reassurance that Morocco's technicians are accustomed to global standards and pace.
