Film & Photo Production Service Sicily

Sicily offers a location richness unlike anywhere else in Europe: crumbling baroque architecture, italian characteristic towns, and pristine Mediterranean coastlines. However, navigating the logistics of the island requires local expertise.

From our Milan HQ, we coordinate the entire production chain. We fly in only our key specialized crew and Heads of Department to guarantee top-tier technical standards, while activating our established network of local Sicilian crews and location managers in Palermo and Catania. This ensures you get the "Milan quality" of service combined with deep local access.

We regularly produce campaigns across Sicily for international fashion and lifestyle brands.

Here are three recent examples of our full-service support:

• Boden Spring Summer Campaign: A complex multi-location shoot moving between a historic villa, pristine beaches, and characteristic town squares. We managed the logistics for rapid company moves, securing permits for street control in narrow village roads.
• Sézane "L'Avventura": Video and photo production set in an iconic historical villa. Our team secured exclusive access to this heritage property, managing on-site catering, equipment logistics and international team transportation.
• D-Repubblica (Cover Story): A documentary-style editorial focused on authenticity. We handled locations to find real local spots and scouted vibrant locations like fish markets and small shops to capture the raw, unfiltered Sicilian summer vibe.

Strategic Logistics: Sicily allows for extended shooting seasons thanks to its mild winters (15-17°C average).

We manage logistics through the two main international airports (Palermo PMO and Catania CTA) as well as Trapani for efficient crew transfers.

Production Specs: To help you plan, here is a breakdown of the standard logistical timelines:

• Archaeological Sites: Min. 20 Working Days (Strict permits required for Valle dei Templi, Siracusa, etc.).
• Street Control: 10-15 Working Days for blocking roads in historic centers like Palermo or Catania.
• Equipment: Main camera/lighting packages usually trucked from Milan/Rome via overnight ferry.
• Villas and Towns: We have extensive archive decks of locations and we are happy to collaborate on your pitches to help the project being awarded.

Sicily offers a unique architectural range that defines the "Italian Summer" aesthetic.

Our location archive is particularly strong on private residential properties: from crumbling baroque palazzos in Palermo to restored "Baglio" farmhouses surrounded by olive groves, and modern luxury villas overlooking the sea.

Beyond private locations, we specialize in shooting in "Borghi" (historic villages). We handle the casting of authentic local faces and secure permits for iconic town squares and narrow streets, giving your campaign a cinematic and timeless atmosphere alongside the island's pristine beaches.
