## What a local producer does for you

- **Location scouting.** Unpublished villas, palazzi, gardens, streets and coastline, scouted to your brief, with photographs and access confirmed before you book flights.
- **Permits.** Permits for public spaces, heritage sites, gardens and council parking, arranged with the local authorities. Allow one to two weeks.
- **Production.** A senior producer on the ground from the first call to wrap, responsible for the budget, schedule, call sheets and the running of the set.
- **Crew.** Production assistants, drivers, runners, lighting and grip, with local photographers and assistants where the shoot needs them.
- **Casting and art buying.** Models through Maltese and London agencies; hair and make-up, stylists and other talent through our London office.
- **Kit and transport.** Camera, lighting and generators from local rental houses, specialist kit brought in when needed, and vans and people carriers with drivers.

## Questions

### What does a local producer in Malta cost?

Shoot in Malta's senior producer starts at €400 a day. When we produce the whole shoot, one estimate covers everything, with no hidden contingency.

### Who can organise a commercial shoot in Malta, with locations, permits and crew?

Shoot in Malta does all three. We scout and book the locations, apply for the permits, book local crew, vans and kit, cast models, and a senior producer runs the shoot days. One estimate and one invoice cover all of it.

### Is crew easy to find in Malta?

Production assistants, drivers, camera, lighting and grip crews are all on the island. Crew gets scarce when film productions are shooting, so book early; we build a buffer into the estimate when that happens.

### How quickly does Shoot in Malta reply to a brief?

Within a day, with a location shortlist and a first estimate.
