Service Production in Kampala
It’s imperative that you have the right fixer in Kampala and line producers when filming in this historic, hectic and vibrant city. Bordering Lake Victoria, Africa’s largest lake, and dotted with incredible mountainscapes and deep valleys, Uganda’s capital offers a marvellous mix of natural vistas and traditional and modern experiences. The number of potential filming locations is vast. From the buzzing marketplaces and elegant skyscrapers of the city to the historic Uganda Museum, Mengo Palace, and the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Kasubi Tombs, where generations of the Buganda royal family are buried, you’re spoilt for choice.
That’s why, whether shooting a corporate film production in Kampala’s city centre or filming gorillas in one of its many national parks, you’ll need a dedicated fixer in Kampala to assist you. They’ll work with location scouts, city officials, and others to organize film permits from the Uganda Media Council and whatever else is needed to ensure that you get to film in the perfect place for your production.
It’s all part of the production service you get with a fixer in Kampala. Alongside organizing permits for locations, you can rely on us to manage accommodation, transportation and all other filming logistics during your shooting period. From pre-production to the moment you wrap, and including any post-production tasks, we’re here to help.
We’re well-versed in the filming needs of international production companies. That said, our fixer in Kampala is always open to accommodating any unique requirements that you may have to ensure your production is a success in this adventurous and friendly city.
Line production company in Kampala
Filming in Kampala comes with its own challenges. But one key to success is having the right crew. In Kampala, we recognise that means accessing local, meticulously vetted film professionals who know the city inside and out. Our fixer in Kampala and crews, including directors, cinematographers, gaffers, camera crew and more, don’t just bring their extensive experience with commercial video production and corporate video production in Kampala to the shoot. They also bring vital local connections and cultural insights. We choose people who understand the city’s culture and social nuances. This can help sidestep any cultural missteps during actual filming as well as ensure that the film authentically represents the local settings and respects the community’s sensibilities.

And, of course, hiring expert local crews makes financial sense too. The fact that Uganda is not a member of the Carnet Free Systems Unions, means getting your equipment in and out of Uganda can be tricky and will cost you a non-refundable 10% of the equipment costs. So not only do you save on travel and accommodation costs by utilising on-the-ground film experts, but you can also sidestep the expense of shipping over particular equipment that foreign crew members may need.
As your line producers, this is all part of the production service in Kampala that we offer. Our aim is always to go above and beyond to make any production shoot in this vibrant city easy for our clients. A fixer in Kampala takes on the heavy lifting of sourcing the right people, equipment, locations, accommodation and anything else you need to ensure a fast, efficient and flawless production.
