Myanmar (Burma) is without doubt an incredibly picturesque country with locations never before seen on camera and a multitude of untold stories. However, touring and filming here is not an easy task.
As most international or regional location management companies recommend, getting the results you need requires partnering with a local agency. The first step may be a ‘reccie’ visit. This then leads to the process of obtaining production permits; a task that should be undertaken in collaboration with a trusted local ‘fixer’ /agency with a reputable local network.
In most cases, inbound film & TV crews typically require remote location access. As a licensed Destination Management Company (DMC) our local knowledge and contracted supplier network extends nationwide and even across borders.
Our daily operations are managed by a combination of English speaking Burmese nationals with Dutch, English & Australian advisors based full-time in Yangon. Our Burmese translators & guides provide bi-lingual language services in French, Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Chinese and Russian.
Regional Offices with logistics support crew include Mandalay, Bagan & Inle Lake.
Head Offices are located in downtown CBD Yangon.
