Our Approach

Courage Production is an Italian film and photo production company, established in Milan in 2016 by a team of producers with over a decade of prior experience on sets across Italy.

We started Courage Production because international producers and high-end brands needed a local Italian partner who could deliver at their level. Someone with the network, the experience, and the flexibility to execute complex shoots on schedule and on budget.

That's what we do. We handle photo productions, film shoots, and video campaigns for fashion, luxury, and high-end commercial clients who expect quality but also need things to be efficient. Whether it's a single-day photo shoot or a multi-day film production, we find the approach that makes sense for your project and your budget.

Our details

How we work

We manage large-scale film commercial campaigns and high-end fashion video projects. We also run 15-person editorial photo shoots with the same standards.

As a production service, we support foreign production companies, international agencies, or brands (italian or international) that handle their creative internally. We also provide art buying and creative support when needed, via freelance creatives.

Our network and locations

We shoot across Italy every year. From Milan, we work with experienced local teams in Rome, Lake Como, Venice, Tuscany, the Amalfi Coast, Puglia, South Italy, Sicily, Liguria & Portofino and the Alps.

We have our own location database and collaborate with the best local location agencies. We built our network over years of working in these places, and we know the crews, the logistics, and what works.
