Executive Production & Line Production in Morocco
CAESTUS FILMS is a Moroccan film production company providing executive production and line production services for international films, television, commercials and documentaries shooting in Morocco. We take charge of the agreed local execution of your production, bringing regulatory requirements, production planning, crews and on-set operations into one coordinated setup.
From initial preparation to the agreed handover, you work with a Moroccan production partner responsible for the local scope entrusted to it, with clear decisions, budgets and working arrangements.
Your Moroccan Executive Production Partner
Executive production is more than booking separate services. It is the local execution of a production under an agreed mandate, with the organisation and regulatory responsibilities that come with filming in Morocco.
CAESTUS FILMS holds the international production execution accreditation issued by the Moroccan Cinematographic Center (CCM). Within the scope agreed with the foreign producer, we coordinate filming authorisations, local production documentation and applicable requirements relating to crews, contracts and insurance. We oversee the Moroccan production arrangements and liaise with the relevant parties during preparation and filming.
The responsibilities, approval process and reporting requirements are agreed before work begins. Filming permissions and other official approvals remain subject to the competent authorities.
Line Production: Planning and Running the Shoot
Line production is the operational side of the assignment. We work with your producers and production manager to prepare local cost estimates and a workable schedule, plan crew and equipment needs, organise suppliers and coordinate the resources required for filming.
On set, we manage the agreed local workflow, monitor production costs and scheduling, and help the production team respond when plans change. Executive production and line production can be combined within one assignment, with the responsibilities established for each project.
From Preparation to Wrap
1. Prepare the Local Production
We review your script or production brief, proposed locations, dates, technical needs and budget parameters. Together with your team, we develop the local production plan, estimates, schedule and administrative steps required before the shoot.
2. Execute the Shoot
We coordinate the local crews, suppliers, locations and logistics needed to deliver the agreed production plan. The operational and administrative sides of the shoot are managed together, including ongoing coordination with your production department and the parties responsible for authorisations.
3. Complete the Local Handover
After filming, we follow up on outstanding local commitments and provide the cost information and supporting production documents included in the assignment. Where relevant, these records can also support the preparation of incentive documentation for eligible productions.
The Production Services Behind the Shoot
Our executive and line production assignments bring together the services required for a shoot. Depending on the project, these include location scouting, filming permit applications, local film crews and equipment rental, alongside casting, customs coordination, transport, accommodation and catering.
For documentary, factual television and smaller international teams, we can also provide local fixer support as part of an appropriate production arrangement.
Morocco’s Production Incentives
For eligible international productions, we assist with the procedures and documentation associated with Morocco’s 30% cash rebate and applicable VAT exemption. The two mechanisms have separate conditions and should be considered during production planning.
Discuss Your Production
Tell us what you are planning to film in Morocco. Send your script or brief, proposed filming dates, intended locations and the local production scope you need. If available, include a preliminary schedule and budget parameters. We can then discuss the appropriate production setup and prepare a tailored proposal.
