003 Questions
Is there a location agency in Malta for photo and film shoots?
Yes. Shoot in Malta works as a location agency for stills and film: a selection of locations on this site and more that are unpublished, including private villas, palazzi and houses scouted to each brief, with permits, crew and transport handled by the same team.
Can you produce film as well as stills in Malta?
Yes. Alongside stills crews we book cinema camera packages, camera assistants, gaffers, grips and VTR operators in Malta, and the estimate covers stills, film or both.
Can a lookbook be shot in two days in Malta?
Usually, yes. Most locations are 15 to 45 minutes apart by road, so two or three locations a day is realistic, and a two-day lookbook can move from a baroque street to a garden to the coast.
Does a small stills crew need a permit on the coast in Malta?
Often not, at spots such as St Peter's Pool, Kalanka Bay or Munxar, but it varies by place, so we confirm each location before the shoot.
Tell us the look you have in mind, and we will find it in Malta.
