Film & Photo Production Service Naples and Amalfi Coast

Courage Production provides specialized film and photo production services across Naples and the Amalfi Coast. By combining our established local production teams with top-tier technical crews from Milan, we operate across the full visual spectrum of the region, managing complex coastal logistics, street-casting, and private villa access.

In Naples, we secure permits for the chaotic, authentic alleys of the Quartieri Spagnoli and Rione Sanità, as well as the cinematic open spaces of the Lungomare and Castel dell'Ovo, up to the elegant residential villas of Posillipo.

Moving to the Amalfi Coast, our production network covers the iconic towns of Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi, etc. Here, we open doors to exclusive private locations: from historic cliffside villas with infinity pools to "farmhouse-style" lemon groves that define the Italian summer aesthetic.

We manage campaigns ranging from street-style editorials to high-end commercials.

Here are recent examples:

• Kith x Armani (Spring Summer): A monumental collaboration shot on the Amalfi Coast. We managed the complex logistics of this high-profile production in Sorrento, securing exclusive coastal locations and coordinating VIP handling for a seamless shoot in one of Italy's most requested destinations.

• Naples Editorial: A documentary-style project shot in the heart of the city and surrounding areas. Our team secured permits for the vibrant alleys of the Quartieri Spagnoli and managed extensive location scouting to find authentic local spots, capturing the raw, unfiltered energy of Naples.

• Sézane (L'Avventura): A quintessential Italian summer campaign set in Positano. We handled the "vertical logistics" of moving crew and equipment through steep cliffside streets, coordinating the complex set move between a main villa location and the town's beach.

The Logistics Reality

The Amalfi Coast is one of the most beautiful but logistically challenging places in Italy. Parking is extremely limited, and large trucks are often banned.

Our Solution: We operate with a "light footprint" strategy. We establish base camps in accessible areas and shuttle crew/gear using specific local vans. Crucially, we employ teams of local porters to manually transport equipment up and down the steep stairways to reach beaches or cliffside villas.

Production Specs:

• Permits: Mandatory 15 Working Days notice for public land occupation (O.S.P.).

• Budget: Due to the complexity of logistics (porters, boats, parking, shuttles) and the high-end level of service, producing here requires a more premium budget than in mainland locations.

• Equipment: While most basic photo equipment can be found locally, we source the main film packages from Rome (a 2.5h drive) to guarantee availability.

Capri: Marine Logistics & High-End Services

Shooting in Capri is more complex. There is no direct vehicle access from the mainland.

We manage the entire transfer chain: moving equipment trucks onto commercial ferries from Naples/Sorrento, and then coordinating with local electric cart operators and porters on the island to move gear to the set. Whether you are shooting in the "Piazzetta" or on a boat near the Faraglioni, we advise booking logistics well in advance, as Capri is one of the most exclusive and expensive shooting locations in Europe.

Q: Are there local rental companies for photo and video?

A: For photo equipment, there are local sources for essential grip and lighting. However, for cinema/video productions (Arri, Sony Venice), we rely on major rental houses in Rome, trucking the gear down. This ensures you have reliable, checked equipment.

Q: Do you use local crew?

A: Yes, we have a strong network of local professionals for support roles (PA, Runners, Drivers) and Glam assistants (Make-up/Stylist assistants). For Key Roles (DOP, Digi Tech, Gaffers), we recommend bringing crew from Milan or Rome to ensure international working standards.

Q: Can we use Uber or taxis for crew transfers?

A: No. Uber is not available or reliable in this region. While local taxis exist, they are expensive and often unavailable on short notice during high season. We strongly advise letting us manage all logistics with our trusted fleet of NCC drivers (vans and cars) to ensure the crew moves safely and on schedule between the hotel, set, and airport.
